How to Order Prescriptions
Description
Palladia Tablets are indicated for the treatment of Patnaik grade II or III, recurrent, cutaneous mast cell tumors with or without regional lymph node involvement in dogs only. This medication uses toceranic phosphate to combat the effects of these recurrent tumors and works on both tumors with and without regional lymph node involvement. Palladia can also be used as an alternative to chemotherapy for other various types of tumors, including melanomas, thyroid carcinomas, and more.
Dosage and Administration
Always refer to Client
Information Sheet with prescription and discuss with your veterinarian. Administer an initial dosage of
3.25 mg/kg (1.48 mg/lb) body weight, orally every other day (see
Table 1 in Product Label Tab). Dose reductions of 0.5 mg/kg (to a minimum dose of 2.2 mg/kg
(1.0 mg/lb) every other day) and dose interruptions (cessation of
PALLADIA for up to two weeks) may be utilized, if needed, to manage
adverse reactions (see
Table 2 as well as
Warnings and
Precautions). Adjust dose based on approximately weekly veterinary assessments for
the first 6 weeks and approximately every 6 weeks, thereafter. PALLADIA
may be administered with or without food. Do not split tablets.
See Product Label Tab for more detailed information.

Storage Directions
Store at controlled room temperature 20° to 25° C (68° to 77° F). Keep away from children and pets.
Contraindications
Do not use in dogs used for breeding, or for pregnant or lactating bitches (see Clinical
Pharmacology).
Warnings
Palladia may cause vascular dysfunction which can lead to edema and thromboembolism,
including pulmonary thromboembolism. Discontinue drug until clinical signs and clinical
pathology have normalized. To assure vasculature homeostasis, wait at least 3 days after
stopping drug before performing surgery (see Adverse Reactions).
Serious and sometimes fatal gastrointestinal complications including gastrointestinal
perforation have occurred rarely in dogs treated with PALLADIA (see Adverse Reactions).
If gastrointestinal ulceration is suspected, stop drug administration and treat appropriately.
Human Warnings
NOT FOR USE IN HUMANS. KEEP THIS AND ALL MEDICATIONS OUT OF THE REACH OF
CHILDREN. Children should not come in contact with PALLADIA. Keep children away from
feces, urine, or vomit of treated dogs.
To avoid exposure to drug, wash hands with soap and water after administering PALLADIA
and wear protective gloves to prevent direct contact with feces, urine, vomit, and broken
or moistened PALLADIA tablets. Place all waste materials in a plastic bag and seal before
general disposal. If eyes are accidentally exposed to the drug, rinse eyes with water immediately. In case of accidental ingestion by a person, seek medical advice immediately, show
the package insert or label to the physician. Gastrointestinal discomfort such as vomiting
or diarrhea may occur if this drug is accidentally ingested.
Pregnant women, women who may become pregnant, or nursing mothers should pay
special attention to these handling precautions. (See handling instructions above.)
PALLADIA, like other drugs in its class, prevents the formation of new blood vessels in
tumors. In a similar manner, PALLADIA may affect blood vessel formation in the
developing fetus and may harm an unborn baby (cause birth defects). For pregnant women,
accidental ingestion of PALLADIA may have adverse effects on pregnancy.
