Side effects may include vomiting, hypersalivation, inappetance, behavior change and lethargy. Monitor for changes in thirst or water intake, lethargy or weakness, digestive issues (vomiting, diarrhea, drooling, decreased appetite), or behaviors.
Other side effects may occur. If you notice anything unusual, contact your veterinarian.
Drug & Food Interactions
The following drugs can potentially interact with capromorelin: amiodarone, diltiazem, cimetidine, erythromycin, ketoconazole, itraconazole, rifampin, and phenobarbital. 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.
