Important Safety Information
ZORBIUM is not for use in humans. ZORBIUM contains buprenorphine, an opioid that exposes humans to risks of misuse, abuse and addiction, which can lead to overdose and death. Use of buprenorphine may lead to physical dependence. Serious, life-threatening or fatal respiratory depression may occur with accidental exposure to or with misuse or abuse of ZORBIUM. Accidental exposure to even one tube of ZORBIUM, especially in children, can result in a fatal overdose.
ZORBIUM is for topical application in cats only, and is applied by veterinary personnel 1 to 2 hours before surgery. Following application to the cat, your veterinarian will need to allow a minimum drying time of 30 minutes before direct contact with the application site.
ZORBIUM is not to be applied on cats with a known allergy to buprenorphine hydrochloride, any other ingredients of ZORBIUM, or intolerance to opioids. ZORBIUM is not to be applied if the application site at the dorsal cervical area has diseased or injured skin, or to any other area on the cat’s body. Your veterinarian should monitor your cat during and after surgery for changes in body temperature. The safe use of ZORBIUM has not been evaluated in debilitated cats, those with kidney, liver, heart or respiratory disease, those that are pregnant, lactating or breeding, in cats younger than four months old, or in cats < 2.6 lbs. or > 16.5 lbs. Most common adverse reactions during anesthesia were hypothermia, hypotension and hypertension, and after anesthetic recovery were hypothermia, hyperthermia and sedation.
