Progestogen and glucocorticoids should be avoided while taking Vetsulin, as they may counter the effect of insulin. Talk to your veterinarian about any other prescriptions, over the counter medications, vitamins, minerals and herbal products your pet is taking before using Vetsulin. |

Precautions | Seek emergency veterinary medical attention if your pet experiences difficulty breathing, swelling of the lips, tongue, or face, or hives, as these may be a sign of an allergic reaction. |
