It's crucial to consult with your veterinarian before giving any medication to your dog, especially when they are already on other medications like phenobarbital.
Here's why:
* Drug Interactions: Medications can interact with each other, potentially causing serious side effects. Your vet can assess the potential risks and benefits of combining desloratadine with phenobarbital.
* Dosage and Formulations: The appropriate dosage and formulation of desloratadine for your dog will depend on their weight, breed, and medical history.
* Underlying Conditions: Your dog's underlying health conditions could influence the safety and effectiveness of both medications.
To ensure your dog's safety and well-being, please schedule an appointment with your veterinarian to discuss any potential medication changes or additions. They can provide you with personalized guidance and recommendations.
