Prescription items are NON-RETURNABLE and NON REFUNDABLE Primor Indications For Use Primor is for the treatment of skin and soft tissue infections (wounds and abscesses) in dogs caused by strains of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli and urinary tract infections caused by Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus spp., and Proteus mirabilis susceptible to sulfadimethoxine/ormetoprim. Description Primor is an antimicrobial drug containing sulfadimethoxine and ormetoprim in a 5 to 1 ratio. The combination of these 2 compounds results in the potentiation of sulfadimethoxine, providing increased efficacy, a broadened spectrum of activity to include some sulfonamide-resistant organisms, and reduction in the rate of resistance development. Sulfadimethoxine is a white, almost tasteless and odorless powder. Chemically, it is N1-(2,6-dimethoxy-4pyrimidinyl)-sulfanila-mide. The structural formula is: Ormetoprim is a white, almost tasteless powder. Chemically, it is 2,4-diamino-5-(4,5- dimethoxy-2methylbenzyl)-pyrimidine. The structural formula is: Toxicity And Safety 1 Toxicity data for Primor indicates that the drug is safe when used at the recommended dosage. Following oral administration of Primor to dogs at 27.5 mg/kg/day (12.5 mg/lb/day) for 8 weeks, no changes were noted in hematology, blood chemistry, urinalysis, gross pathology, and histopathology, except for elevated serum cholesterol, increased thyroid and liver weights, enlarged basophilic cells in the pituitary, and mild follicular thyroid hyperplasia. These changes are known to be associated with prolonged administration of sulfonamides to dogs and have been shown to be reversible. Adverse Reactions Conditions reported following use of sulfonamides or potentiated sulfonamides include polyarthritis, urticaria, facial swelling, fever, hemolytic anemia, polydypsia, polyuria, hepatitis, vomiting, anorexia, diarrhea, and neurologic disorders. In rare instances, neurologic signs including behavioral changes, ataxia, seizures, aggression, and hyperexcitability have been reported. Keratitis sicca, possibly due to prolonged use of sulfonamides, has been reported. Individual animal hypersensitivity may result in local or generalized reactions. Anaphylactoid reactions, although rare, may also occur. Antidote Epinephrine for anaphylactoid reactions. Precautions Decreased water consumption and aciduria enhance the probability of the formation of sulfonamide crystals in the urine. Monitoring urine samples for crystal formation is recommended from animals with acid urine receiving the drug. As with any sulfonamide therapy, make certain dogs maintain adequate water intake. If dogs show no improvement within 2 or 3 days, reevaluate the diagnosis. Safety in breeding dogs has not been established. Contraindications Primor should not be used in dogs showing marked liver parenchymal damage, blood dyscrasias, or in those with a history of sulfonamide hypersensitivity. Primor Dosage And Administration Administer an initial oral dose of 25 mg/lb (55 mg/kg) of body weight on the first day of treatment. Administer subsequent daily doses at the rate of 12.5 mg/lb (27.5 mg/kg) of body weight. Continue treatment for at least 2 days after remission of clinical signs. Do not extend treatment for more than 21 consecutive days. For optimal therapeutic effect: (1) the drug must be given early in the course of the disease; (2) therapeutically effective levels must be maintained in the body throughout the treatment period; (3) treatment should continue for at least 2 days after remission of clinical signs; and (4) the causative bacterial agents must be sensitive to the drug.

Side Effects: May see signs of oral or gastric ulcers. In adult horses these signs may include decreased appetite, weight loss, mild colic, poor performance, depression, lying down more than normal, diarrhea, accumulation of fluid under the belly, and anemia with signs of pale gums and weakness. In foals may also see teeth grinding, drooling, weakness, and nursing for only short periods of time. Effects related to the kidney may result in changes in drinking or urination habits. Stop using phenylbutazone and consult your veterinarian if you notice any of the above side effects. If your horse experiences an allergic reaction to the medication, signs may include facial swelling, hives, scratching, sudden onset of diarrhea, shock, seizures, pale gums, cold limbs, or coma. If you observe any of these signs, contact your veterinarian immediately. Precautions: Not for use in horses hypersensitive (allergic) to phenylbutazone. Do not use in horses with stomach ulcers or a history of stomach ulcers, horses that are anemic, or have diseases of the bone marrow, kidney, liver, or heart. Do not use in pregnant or lactating horses unless benefits outweigh the risks. Avoid use in debilitated horses, foals, and ponies unless benefits outweigh the risks, since the possibility of toxic side effects is increased in these animals. Consult with your veterinarian regarding the physical examinations and laboratory testing necessary prior to and during treatment with phenylbutazone. Provide fresh water at all times, since lack of water could increase the risk of injury to the kidneys. Since phenylbutazone can mask lameness, it is unethical to use it prior to a soundness exam. Administration: Always follow the dosage instructions provided by your veterinarian. If you have difficulty giving the medication, contact your veterinarian. Oral forms should be given with food. Injectable forms should only be given in the vein - NOT in the artery, muscle, or under the skin, as serious consequences could occur. If you miss a dose, give it as soon as you remember.

This medication should only be given to the horse for whom it was prescribed. Drug, Food, and Test Interactiona: Notify your veterinarian of any other medications, including vitamins and supplements, your horse is taking while receiving phenylbutazone.

Dogs with known hypersensitivity to meloxicam should not receive Metacam. Do not use Metacam in cats. Acute renal failure and death have been associated with the use of meloxicam in cats. Use with extreme caution and continued monitoring in geriatric animals and those with dehydration, diabetes mellitus, or stomach, intestinal, liver, heart, and blood disorders. 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. The following drugs can potentially interact with meloxicam: oral anticoagulants, heparin, other anti-inflammatory agents, salicylates, corticosteroids, and ACE inhibitors. Contact your veterinarian if your pet experiences any unusual reactions when different medications are given together. Store this medicine in a cool, dry place at room temperature. Store away from heat and direct sunlight. Do not store this medicine in the bathroom, near the kitchen sink or in damp places. The medicine may break down if exposed to heat or moisture. Allergic reactions to medications may occur. Be sure to inform your veterinarian if your pet has any known drug sensitivities or allergies. If your pet displays symptoms of an allergic reaction, call your veterinarian immediately or go to a veterinary emergency clinic. Symptoms may include but are not limited to: swollen lips, tongue, face, airways; difficulty breathing; agitation; profuse salivation; vomiting; widespread hives and itching. Side effects: Possible side effects may include upset stomach. Other side effects may occur. If you notice anything unusual, contact your veterinarian. Usage: Metacam should be given orally as directed by your veterinarian. Try to give this medication at about the same time each day (preferably after or with a meal). To prevent accidental overdosing of small dogs, administer drops on food only, never directly into the mouth. Shake well. Measure liquid medication using the syringe provided with product.

Temaril-P(R) Tablets (trimeprazine with prednisolone) The exclusive Temaril-P formula combines the antipruritic and antitussive action of trimeprazine with the anti-inflammatory action of prednisolone. Item Specifications: For Use: Dogs Manufacturer: Pfizer Animal Health Dosage: Use as Directed by your Veterinarian COMPOSITION: Each tablet contains trimeprazine tartrate (USP) 10-[3-(Dimethylamino)-2-methylpropyl] phenothiazine tartrate (2:1) equivalent to trimeprazine 5 mg and prednisolone 2 mg. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE: 1. Antipruritic: Temaril-P is recommended for the relief of itching regardless of cause. Its usefulness has been demonstrated for the relief of itching and the reduction of inflammation commonly associated with most skin disorders of dogs such as the eczema caused by internal disorders otitis and dermatitis (allergic parasitic pustular and nonspecific). It often relieves pruritis which does not respond to other therapy. With any pruritus treatment the cause should be determined and corrected; otherwise signs are likely to recur following discontinuance of therapy. 2. Antitussive: Temaril-P has been found to be effective therapy and adjunctive therapy in various cough conditions of dogs. Therefore in addition to its antipruritic action Temaril-P is recommended for the treatment of "kennel cough" or tracheobronchitis bronchitis including all allergic bronchitis and infections and coughs of nonspecific origin. (Coughs due to cardiac insufficiencies would not be expected to respond to Temaril-P therapy.) As with any antitussive treatment the etiology of the cough should be determined and eliminated if possible. Otherwise symptoms are likely to recur following discontinuance of therapy. Note: Temaril-P may be administered to animals suffering from acute or chronic bacterial infections provided the infection is controlled by appropriate antibiotic or chemotherapeutic agents. PRECAUTIONS AND SIDE EFFECTS: All the precautions applicable to cortisone and to phenothiazine derivatives apply also to Temaril-P. Possible side effects attributable to corticosteroids include sodium retention and potassium loss negative nitrogen balance suppressed adrenal cortical function delayed wound healing osteoporosis elevated levels of SGPT and SAP and vomiting and diarrhea (occasionally bloody). Cushings syndrome in dogs has been reported in association with prolonged or repeated steroid therapy. Possible increased susceptibility to bacterial invasion and/or the exacerbation of preexisting bacterial infection may occur in patients receiving corticosteroids. As noted above however this problem can be avoided by concomitant use of appropriate anti-infective agents. Possible side effects attributable to phenothiazine derivatives include sedation; protruding nictitating membrane; blood dyscrasias; intensification and prolongation of the action of analgesics sedatives and general anesthetics; and potentiation of organophosphate toxicity and the activity of procaine hydrochloride. It should be remembered that the premonitory signs of cortisone overdosage such as sodium retention and edema may not occur with prednisolone. Therefore the veterinarians must be alert to detect less obvious side effects such as blood dyscrasias polydipsia and polyuria. The appearance and severity of side effects are dose related and are minimal at the recommended dosage level. If troublesome side effects are encountered the dosage of Temaril-P should be reduced and discontinued unless the severity of the condition being treated makes its relief paramount. Prolonged treatment with Temaril-P must be withdrawn gradually. Use of corticosteroids depending on dose duration and specific steroid may result in inhibition of endogenous steroid production following drug withdrawal. In patients presently receiving or recently withdrawn from systemic steroid treatments therapy with a rapidly acting corticosteroid should be considered in unusually stressful situations. WARNING: Clinical and experimental data have demonstrated that corticosteroids administered orally or by injection to animals may induce the first stage of parturition if used during the last trimester of pregnancy and may precipitate premature parturition followed by dystocia fetal death retained placenta and metritis. Additionally corticosteroids administered to dogs rabbits and rodents during pregnancy have resulted in cleft palate in offspring. Corticosteroids administered to dogs during pregnancy have also resulted in other congenital anomalies including deformed forelegs phocomelia and anasarca. If a vasoconstrictor is needed norepinephrine should be used in lieu of epinephrine. Phenothiazine derivatives may reverse the usual elevating action of epinephrine causing further lowering of blood pressure.

Caution Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian. Federal law prohibits the extra label use of this product in female dairy cattle 20 months of age or older. Contraindications Use with caution in patients who have history of drug allergy. Warning Do not use in horses intended for human consumption. HUMAN WARNINGS: Keep this and all medications out of the reach of children. Dispense in tight, child resistant containers. PRECAUTION: Concomitant use with other anti-inflammatory drugs, such as NSAIDs or corticosteroids, should be avoided or closely monitored. Clinical Pharmacology Phenylbutazone was first synthesized in 1948 and introduced into human medicine in 1949. Kuzell (1), (2), (3), Payne (4), Fleming (5) and Denko (6) demonstrated the clinical effectiveness of phenylbutazone in gout, gouty arthritis, acute arthritis, acute rheumatism and various other rheumatoid disorders in humans. Fabre (7), Domenjoz (8), Wilhelmi (9) and Yourish (10) have established the anti-rheumatic and anti-inflammatory activity of phenylbutazone. It is entirely unrelated to the steroid hormones. Toxicity of phenylbutazone has been investigated in rats and mice (11) and dogs (12). Phenylbutazone has been used by Camberos (13) in thoroughbred horses. Favorable results were reported in cases of traumatism, muscle rupture, strains and inflammations of the third phalanx. Results were not as favorable in the period treatment of osteoarthritis of the stifle and hip, arthrosis of the trapezious muscles and general arthritis. Sutter (14) reported a favorable response in chronic equine arthritis of long duration, fair results in severely bruised mare and poor results in two cases where the condition was limited to the third phalanx.

Prescription items are NON-RETURNABLE and NON REFUNDABLE *** Due to long-term manufacturer restriction no more than 100-count per order *** Prednisolone (Prednistab) 5 mg Tablets Indications For steroid therapy, as an aid in the treatment of arthritis, asthma, skin disorders, allergic dermatoses and other inflammatory conditions in dogs and cats. Dosage and Administration Prednisolone (Prednistab) 5 mg tablets are for oral administration. The dosage, as with other corticosteroids, should be individualized according to the severity of the conditions, anticipated duration of therapy and the patient's threshold or tolerance for steroid excess. For chronic conditions, the lowest dose producing adequate relief should be the one employed. As a guideline, Dogs: 0.5-1.0 mg/kg Cats: 1-2 mg/kg Doses should be given as single or divided doses initially and then tapered to every 48 hours. Prednisolone 5 mg Tablets Caution Prednisolone (Prednistab) 5 mg tablets contain a potent steroid and are to be used under the direct supervision of a veterinarian. All precautions and contraindications for adrenocortical hormones must be observed. Warning signs of cortisone overdosage may not be present. In certain cases, where large doses are required, the patient must be closely observed for side effects such as polyuria and polydipsia. When side effects occur, it may be necessary to reduce the dosage or discontinue therapy. Continuous large doses of Prednisolone 5 mg tablets may result in some depression of adrenocortical function and may produce adrenal atrophy. If long-term therapy is to be terminated, gradual withdrawal is recommended. The possible action of Prednisolone 5 mg tablets in delaying healing should also be considered. As with all glucocorticoids, Prednisolone 5 mg tablets may mask the signs of infection or cause the onset of latent infection. For these reasons, it may be advisable to institute proper antibacterial therapy together with Prednisolone 5 mg tablets. Warning Keep out of reach of children.

Prescription items are NON-RETURNABLE and NON REFUNDABLE Depo-Medrol Injection These preparations are recommended for intramuscular and intrasynovial injection in horses and dogs, and intramuscular injection in cats. This treatment applies to the following species: Dogs , Cats , Horses Indications And Usage: Musculoskeletal Conditions. As with other adrenal steroids, DEPO-MEDROL Sterile Aqueous Suspension has been found useful in alleviating the pain and lameness associated with acute localized arthritic conditions and generalized arthritic conditions. It has been used successfully to treat rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic arthritis, osteoarthritis, periostitis, tendinitis, synovitis, tenosynovitis, bursitis, and myositis of horses; traumatic arthritis, osteoarthritis, and generalized arthritic conditions of dogs. Remission of musculoskeletal conditions may be permanent, or symptoms may recur, depending on the cause and extent of structural degeneration. Allergic Conditions. This preparation is especially beneficial in relieving pruritus and inflammation of allergic dermatitis, acute moist dermatitis, dry eczema, urticaria, bronchial asthma, pollen sensitivities and otitis externa in dogs; allergic dermatitis and moist and dry eczema in cats. Onset of relief may begin within a few hours to a few days following injection and may persist for a few days to six weeks. Symptoms may be expected to recur if the cause of the allergic reaction is still present, in which case retreatment may be indicated. In treating acute hypersensitivity reactions, such as anaphylactic shock, intravenous SOLU-DELTA-CORTEF (R) Sterile Powder containing prednisolone sodium succinate, as well as other appropriate treatments, should be used. Overwhelming Infections with Severe Toxicity. In dogs and cats moribund from overwhelmingly severe infections for which antibacterial therapy is available (eg, critical pneumonia, pyometritis), DEPO-MEDROL may be lifesaving, acting to inhibit the inflammatory reaction, which itself may be lethal; preventing vascular collapse and preserving the integrity of the blood vessels; modifying the patient's reaction to drugs; and preventing or reducing the exudative reaction which often complicates certain infections. As supportive therapy, it improves the general attitude of the animal being treated. All necessary procedures for the establishment of a bacterial diagnosis should be carried out whenever possible before institution of therapy. Corticosteroid therapy in the presence of infection should be administered for the shortest possible time compatible with maintenance of an adequate response, and antibacterial therapy should be continued for at least three days after the hormone has been withdrawn. Combined hormone and antibacterial therapy does not obviate the need for indicated surgical treatment. Other Conditions. In certain conditions where it is desired to reduce inflammation, vascularization, fibroblastic infiltration, and scar tissue, the use of DEPO-MEDROL should be considered. Snakebite of dogs also is an indication for the use of this suspension because of its anti-toxemic, anti-shock, and anti-inflammatory activity. It is particularly effective in reducing swelling and preventing sloughing. Its employment in the treatment of such conditions is recommended as a supportive measure to standard procedures and time-honored treatments and will give comfort to the animal and hasten complete recovery. Depo-Medrol Dosage And Administration: Intramuscular Following intramuscular injection of methylprednisolone acetate, a prolonged systemic effect results. The dose varies with the size of the animal patient, the severity of the condition under treatment, and the animal's response to therapy. Dogs and Cats. The average intramuscular dose for dogs is 20 mg. In accordance with the size of the dog and severity of the condition under treatment, the dose may range from 2 mg in miniature breeds to 40 mg in medium breeds, and even as high as 120 mg in extremely large breeds or dogs with severe involvement. The average intramuscular dose for cats is 10 mg with a range up to 20 mg. Injections may be made at weekly intervals or in accordance with the severity of the condition and clinical response. Horses. The usual intramuscular dose for horses is 200 mg repeated as necessary. For maintenance therapy in chronic conditions, initial doses should be reduced gradually until the smallest effective (ie, individualized) dose is established. MEDROL (R) Tablets containing methylprednisolone may also be used for maintenance in dogs and cats, administered according to the recommended dose. When treatment is to be withdrawn after prolonged and intensive therapy, the dose should be reduced gradually. If signs of stress are associated with the condition being treated, the dose should be increased. If a rapid hormonal effect of maximum intensity is required, as in anaphylactic shock, the intravenous administration of highly soluble SOLU-DELTA-CORTEF (R) Sterile Powder containing prednisolone sodium succinate is indicated. Intrasynovial Methylprednisolone acetate, a slightly soluble ester of methylprednisolone, is capable of producing a more prolonged local anti-inflammatory effect than equimolar doses of hydrocortisone acetate. Following intrasynovial injection, relief from pain may be experienced within 12 to 24 hours. The duration of relief varies, but averages three to four weeks, with a range of one to five or more weeks. Injections of methylprednisolone acetate have been well tolerated. Intrasynovial (intra-articular) injections may occasionally result in an increased localized inflammatory response. Intrasynovial injection is recommended as an adjuvant to general therapeutic measures to effect suppression of inflammation in one or a few peripheral structures when (1) the disease is limited to one or a few peripheral structures; (2) the disease is widespread with one or a few peripheral structures actively inflamed; (3) systemic therapy with other corticoids or corticotropin controls all but a few of the more actively involved structures; (4) systemic therapy with cortisone, hydrocortisone, or corticotropin is contraindicated; (5) joints show early but actively progressing deformity (to enhance the effect of physiotherapy and corrective procedures); and (6) surgical or other orthopedic corrective measures are to be or have been done. The action of DEPO-MEDROL Sterile Aqueous Suspension injected intrasynovially appears to be well localized since significant metabolic effects characteristic of systemic administration of adrenal steroids have not been observed. In a few instances mild and transient improvement of structures other than those injected have been reported. No other systemic effects have been noted. However, it is possible that mild systemic effects may occur following intrasynovial administration, and this possibility is greater the larger the number of structures injected and the higher the total dose employed. Procedure for Intrasynovial Injection. The anatomy of the area to be injected should be reviewed in order to assure that the suspension is properly placed and to determine that large blood vessels or nerves are avoided. The injection site is located where the synovial cavity is most superficial. The area is prepared for aseptic injection of the medicament by the removal of hair and cleansing of the skin with alcohol or Mercresin (R) tincture. A sterile 18- to 21-gauge needle for horses, 20- to 22-gauge needle for dogs, on a dry syringe is quickly inserted into the synovial space and a small amount of synovial fluid withdrawn. If there is an excess of synovia and more than 1 mL of suspension is to be injected, it is well to aspirate a volume of fluid comparable to that which is to be injected. With the needle in place, the aspirating syringe is removed and replaced by a second syringe containing the proper amount of suspension which is then inject « Read less

It is packaged in a multiple dose bottle. PHARMACOLOGY KETOFEN is a non-narcotic, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent with analgesic and antipyretic properties. TOXICITY Horses were found to tolerate ketoprofen given intravenously at dosages of 0, 1, 3 and 5 mg/lb once daily for 15 consecutive days (up to five times the recommended dosage for three times the usual duration) with no evidence of toxic effects. In clinical studies, intravenous injection of 1 mg/lb/day for five days resulted in no injection site irritation or other side effects. At 15-fold overdose (15 mg/lb/day) for five days one of two horses developed severe laminitis, but no gross lesions or histologic changes were observed. The toxic effects observed in the horses given a 25-fold overdose (25 mg/lb/day) for five days included inappetence, depression, icterus, abdominal swelling and postmortem findings of gastritis, nephritis and hepatitis. INDICATION KETOFEN (R) (ketoprofen) is recommended for the alleviation of inflammation and pain associated with musculoskeletal disorders in the horse. ADMINISTRATION AND DOSAGE The recommended dosage is 1 mg/lb (1 mL/100 lbs) of body weight once daily. Treatment is administered by intravenous injection and may be repeated for up to five days. Onset of activity is within two hours with peak response by 12 hours. CONTRAINDICATIONS There are no known contraindications to this drug when used as directed. Intra-arterial injection should be avoided. Do not use in a horse if it has previously shown hypersensitivity to ketoprofen. CAUTION This product should not be used in breeding animals since the effects of KETOFEN on fertility, pregnancy or fetal health in horses have not been determined. PRECAUTIONS Studies to determine activity of KETOFEN when administered concomitantly with other drugs have not been conducted. Drug compatibility should be monitored closely in patients requiring adjunctive therapy. WARNING Not for use in horses intended for food.

Prescription items are NON-RETURNABLE and NON REFUNDABLE Equioxx Tablet A non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drug for the control of pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis in horses. Description: EQUIOXX (firocoxib) belongs to the coxib class of non-narcotic, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID). Firocoxib is a white crystalline compound described chemically as 3- (cyclopropylmethoxy)-4-(4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl)-5, 5-dimethylfuranone. The empirical formula is C17H2O5S, and the molecular weight is 336.4 g/mol. The structural formula is shown to the right. Indications: EQUIOXX is indicated for the control of pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis in horses. Dosage and Administration: EQUIOXX Tablets can be used at a dosage of 0.045 mg/lb (0.1 mg/kg) body weight for up to an additional 9 days of treatment. Contraindications: Horses with hypersensitivity to firocoxib should not receive EQUIOXX. Warnings: EQUIOXX Tablets are for oral use in horses only. Keep EQUIOXX Tablets out of the reach of dogs and other pets in a secured location in order to prevent accidental ingestion or overdose. Human Warnings: Not for use in humans. Keep this and all medications out of the reach of children. Consult a physician in case of accidental human exposure or ingestion. Precautions: Horses should undergo a thorough history and physical examination before initiation of NSAID therapy. Appropriate laboratory tests should be conducted to establish hematological and serum biochemical baseline data before and periodically during administration of any NSAID. Clients should be advised to observe for signs of potential drug toxicity and be given a Client Information Sheet with each prescription. Treatment with EQUIOXX should be terminated if signs such as inappetance, colic, abnormal feces, or lethargy are observed. As a class, cyclooxygenase inhibitory NSAIDs may be associated with gastrointestinal, renal, and hepatic toxicity. Sensitivity to drug-associated adverse events varies with the individual patient. Horses that have experienced adverse reactions from one NSAID may experience adverse reactions from another NSAID. Patients at greatest risk for adverse events are those that are dehydrated, on diuretic therapy, or those with existing renal, cardiovascular, and/or hepatic dysfunction. Concurrent administration of potentially nephrotoxic drugs should be carefully approached or avoided. NSAIDs may inhibit the prostaglandins that maintain normal homeostatic function. Such anti-prostaglandin effects may result in clinically significant disease in patients with underlying or pre-existing disease that has not been previously diagnosed. Since many NSAIDs possess the potential to produce gastrointestinal ulcerations and/or gastrointestinal perforation, concomitant use of EQUIOXX with other anti-inflammatory drugs, such as NSAIDs or corticosteroids, should be avoided. The concomitant use of protein bound drugs with EQUIOXX has not been studied in horses. The influence of concomitant drugs that may inhibit the metabolism of EQUIOXX has not been evaluated. Drug compatibility should be monitored in patients requiring adjunctive therapy. The safe use of EQUIOXX in horses less than one year of age, horses used for breeding, or in pregnant or lactating mares has not been evaluated. Consider appropriate washout times when switching from one NSAID to another NSAID or corticosteroid. Adverse Reactions: The safety and effectiveness of EQUIOXX Tablets was supported by a relative bioavailability study comparing EQUIOXX Tablets to the EQUIOXX Oral Paste (See Clinical Pharmacology section), in addition to pharmacovigilance information, and target animal safety data for existing firocoxib-containing products in horses. The effectiveness of EQUIOXX Injection was established in a biocomparability study demonstrating that EQUIOXX Oral Paste is bioequivalent to EQUIOXX Injection. Thus additional studies were not performed to support the effectiveness of EQUIOXX Injection or Tablets, nor were additional studies conducted to support safety of EQUIOXX Tablets. The safety of EQUIOXX Injection was established through a target animal safety study of EQUIOXX Injection administered IV followed by EQUIOXX Oral Paste In controlled field studies, 127 horses (ages 3 to 37 years) were evaluated for safety when given EQUIOXX Oral Paste at a dose of 0.045 mg/lb (0.1 mg/kg) orally once daily for up to 14 days. The following adverse reactions were observed. Horses may have experienced more than one of the observed adverse reactions during the study. Store between 59-86°F (15-30°C) with brief excursions up to°F (40°C) permitted. « Read less

Dose and Administration: Always follow the dosage instructions provided by your veterinarian. If you have difficulties giving the medication, contact your veterinarian. Dosage depends on the product used. Your veterinarian may recommend starting at a higher dose and then reducing the dose every few days to a week. If using the transdermal gel, apply to the skin as directed by your veterinarian. If using an injectable form, use a new, sterile needle and syringe each time, and follow the proper technique, as directed by your veterinarian. Dispose of the needle and syringe according to local regulations. If you miss a dose, contact your veterinarian to determine the next dose. This medication should only be given to the pet for whom it was prescribed. Possible Side Effects: Side effects are usually dose dependent. If side effects occur, contact your veterinarian, who may decrease the dosage, frequency, or type of corticosteroid. The most common side effects are increased appetite, drinking, and urination. Your pet may have more "accidents" and need to go outside or use the litter box more often. Less common side effects include weight gain, panting, diarrhea, vomiting, and behavior changes. Side effects of long-term use include muscle loss, weakness, and the development of diabetes or hyperadrenocorticism (Cushing's disease). The typical signs of these diseases are increased thirst, urination, and appetite. Animals with Cushing's disease may also develop thin skin, a poor hair coat, and a "pot-belly." Activation or worsening of hypothyroidism or pancreatis. Immune system suppression may occur, especially on higher doses, making a pet more susceptible to infection. Contact your veterinarian if your pet has a fever (over 103° F), painful urination (a sign of urinary tract infection), tiredness, sneezing, coughing, or runny eyes. Precautions: Not for use in animals with systemic fungal infections, some types of mange (mites), stomach ulcers, Cushing's disease, high blood pressure, kidney disease, or congestive heart failure. Do not use in pregnant animals. May cause premature birth. Can cause birth defects in dogs, rabbits, and rodents. If on long-term therapy, do not discontinue the drug abruptly. The dose needs to be tapered off over several weeks to allow the body to start making its own cortisol again. May need to give additional steroids while tapering, if the animal is stressed. May stunt growth if used in young, growing animals. Consult with your veterinarian regarding the physical examinations and laboratory testing necessary prior to and during treatment with corticosteroids. Drug, Food, and Test Interactions: Consult your veterinarian before using corticosteroids with vitamins and supplements, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin, carprofen (Novox or Rimadyl), deracoxib (Deramaxx), etodolac (EtoGesic), meloxicam (Metacam),firocoxib (Previcox), tepoxalin (Zubrin); insulin, modified live vaccines, phenytoin, phenobarbital, rifampin, cyclosporine, estrogens, erythromycin, or mitotane, amphotericin B, furosemide, or thiazide, since interactions may occur. Corticosteroids may cause abnormal levels of hepatic enzymes, thyroid hormone, cholesterol, and potassium in the blood, and can affect many laboratory tests. Make sure your veterinarian knows your pet is taking corticosteroids prior to testing. Signs of Toxicity/Overdose: An acute overdose is unlikely to cause problems. A chronic overdose is likely to cause signs of Cushing's disease or diabetes mellitus; both diseases commonly cause increased urinating, drinking, and eating. Abruptly stopping long-term treatment may cause signs of Addison's disease, including vomiting, weakness, collapse and sudden death. If you know or suspect your pet has had an overdose, or if you observe any of these signs in your pet, contact your veterinarian immediately.
