The following drugs can potentially interact with ReBalance® Oral Suspension: antacids, cyclosporine, thiazide diuretics, phenylbutazone, salicylates, probenecid, trimethoprim, and warfarin. Contact your veterinarian if your pet experiences any unusual reactions when different medications are given together.

Make sure to tell your veterinarian what other medication you are giving to your pet. Quite often your veterinarian may prescribe two different medications, even if a drug interaction may occur. In this case, your veterinarian may vary the dose and/or monitor your pet more closely. 

For use in horses only. The safety of ReBalance® Oral Suspension with concomitant therapies in horses has not been evaluated. Safe use in breeding, pregnancy, and lactation has not been evaluated.  Keep out of reach of children. 

Prior to treatment with Rebalance® Oral Suspension , EPM should be distinguished from the diseases that may cause ataxia in horses. Injuries or lameness may also complicate the evaluation of an animal with EPM. In most instances, ataxia due to EPM is asymmetrical and affects the front and/or the hind limbs. Treatment may cause generalized bone marrow suppression, anemia, leukopenia, neutropenia and thrombocytopenia. A complete blood count (CBC) should be performed monthly to monitor horses for development of these conditions. The administration of the drug may need to be discontinued and/or treatments for bone marrow suppression initiated. Worsened neurologic deficits (treatment crisis) may be observed during a period beginning with the first few days of treatment with ReBalance® Oral Suspension and ranging out to 5 weeks. This neurologic deficit exacerbation may be the result of an inflammatory reaction to the dying parasites in the CNS tissue.

Allergic reactions to medications may occur. Be sure to inform Vetsource and your veterinarian if your pet has any known drug sensitivities or allergies. If your pet displays symptoms of an allergic reaction, call your veterinarian immediately or go to a veterinary emergency clinic. Symptoms may include but are not limited to: swollen lips, tongue, face, airways; difficulty breathing; agitation; profuse salivation; widespread hives and itching.

If you are concerned that your pet has experienced an adverse reaction to this medication, please contact the manufacturer PRN Pharmacal at 850-476-9462 or Vetsource customer service at 877-738-4443.
