Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! Sadly we do not really know. It is a new drug and we do not know the full extent of a lot of side effects and potential issues with long term use. The clinical trials have only been going on since 2015. I hope this helps in some way! https://www.zoetisus.com/products/dogs/cytopoint/safety_longtermuse.aspx
