Important safety information

PRASCEND is for use in horses only. Treatment with PRASCEND has been observed to cause inappetance, with most cases being transient. Weight loss, lethargy, and behavioral changes may be observed in some horses. If severe, a temporary reduction of dose may be necessary. PRASCEND has not been evaluated in breeding, pregnant, or lactating animals. As PRASCEND is a dopamine agonist, it may interfere with reproductive hormones involved in these groups of animals. The concurrent use of dopamine antagonists should be avoided since these agents may diminish the effectiveness of PRASCEND. PRASCEND should not be used in horses with hypersensitivity to pergolide mesylate or other ergot derivatives. Refer to the package insert for complete product information.
