Death

19. Provide supplemental information here

The information regarding the death of the dog was casually provided during an inquiry. Nevertheless death is inconsistent with pharmaco-toxicological product profile and experience. Product has wide margin of safety. Oral LD50 in rat 642 mg/kg BW. 20-fold overdosage tolerated by dogs without showing any side effect. The animal in this case was geriatric and had concomitant history of neoplasia. Death most likely occurred due to neoplasia. In case of suspected product involvement event would have been reported in close proximity and not long time (almost 3 years) after. Overall, even though exact time to onset is unknown and no necropsy was performed, considering known safety profile of the product, product relation is unlikely.
