Long-term use of Temaril-P may lead to side effects due to its corticosteroid component, which can suppress the immune system and affect your dog's metabolism. It's crucial to have regular check-ups with your veterinarian to monitor your dog's health and adjust the medication dosage or schedule if needed.
