STELFONTA is an FDA approved, intratumoral injection indicated for use in dogs for the local treatment of: Non-metastatic cutaneous mast cell tumors anywhere on the body, Non-metastatic subcutaneous mast cell tumors located at or distal to, the elbow or hock
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Accidental self-injection of STELFONTA® (tigilanol tiglate injection) may cause severe wound formation. To decrease the risk of accidental self-injection, sedation of the dog may be necessary. In dogs, do not inject STELFONTA into subcutaneous mast cell tumors located above the elbow or hock. Formation of wounds, possibly extensive, is an intended and likely response to treatment with STELFONTA along with associated swelling, bruising and pain; these wounds are expected to heal. Some of these cases resulted in amputation. Appropriate pre- and post-treatment medications must be given, including a corticosteroid plus blocking agents for both H1 and H2 receptors, in order to decrease the potential for severe systemic adverse reactions, including death, from mast cell degranulation.
