Use during pregnancy and lactation:
Care should be exercised if administered to pregnant mares. Although no adverse effects of phenylbutazone on the foetus or maintenance of pregnancy have been reported during field use, no definitive safety studies have been carried out in the mare. Foetotoxic effects of phenylbutazone have been recorded in experimental animal species at high dose levels. Use of Chanazone in pregnant and lactating mares only according to a benefit/risk assessment by the responsible veterinarian Avoid use around time of parturition.
