In therapeutic doses Sumid-Vet® Powder is relatively non-toxic, but prolonged treatment has been known to cause agranulocytosis, haemolytic anaemia and avitaminosis-K. Where prolonged treatment is undertaken, patients should be watched with care. Sumid-Vet® Powder occasionally causes crystalluria, particularly when urinary pH is low. Always ensure adequate water intake during treatment and take particular care in the case of animals suffering from renal damage.
