Q

Human NSAIDs in vet med?

A

Not approved
-Advil, tylenol (watch for methemoglobinemia), aspirin, aleve, voltaren

Toxicity! Mostly ibuprofen (Advil)

**Safety and efficacy is much lower than vet approved drugs. Often a small therapeutic window

19
Q

Galliprant use

A

-used for dogs with arthritis; no claims for use in post-op
-alternative to NSAIDs; can’t use them concurrently
-oral tablet (various sizes)

**Thought to be safer than NSAIDs, but efficacy might be lower.
>may want to use galliprant though in cases where dog may have GI ulcer history or liver/kidney diseases

20
Q

Galliprant possible adverse events

A

-vomiting
-diarrhea
-inappetence
-lethargy
-buccal ulcers
-immune mediated hemolytic anemia

21
Q

Solensia (frunevetmab) mechanism

A

-Not a drug; considered a biologic

-Monoclonal antibody specific for blocking feline nerve growth factor (NGF)
>NGF upregulated during chronic inflammatory conditions and are needed for pain response

22
Q

Solensia use

A

-Used in cats for arthritis

-Long-acting injection(half life=10-12 days, repeated monthly, need two injections to reach steady state)
>elimination=proteolysis

-Cmax= 3-7 days after dose
-minimal accumulation in plasma after 5 doses

23
Q

Solensia efficacy and safety

A

Efficacy: it works; but some individuals undergo placebo effect

Safety: high safety levels

24
Q

Librela (bedinvetmab)

A

Monoclonal antibody specific for canine nerve growth factor (NGF)
-similar to solensia
-repeated monthly
-Safety and efficacy high

25
Q

Can you combine NSAIDs with non-NSAIDs for osteoarthritis analgesia?

A

-Not great evidence. Benefits for multi-modal analgesia with other painful conditions
>synergism may not occur

26
Q

issues with determining NSAID safety

A
  1. cannot compare different products by adverse events because number of sales will affect it

2.Conditions of use vary between NSAIDs (one time vs long term)

  1. Voluntary reporting is skewed
  2. Amount of evidence
27
Q

What are you looking for in terms of safety in NSAIDS?

A

-vomiting and diarrhea are most common signs
-hepatic adverse effects; may lead to idiosyncratic rxn
-kidney injury and GI effects are dose dependent

28
Q

NSAID metabolism in cats

A

Cats are poor glucuronidators and hepatic clearance, therefore increased half life and then possibly increased toxicity risk

Approved products: meloxicam and robenacoxib

Other drugs, but not much data supporting their use: firocoxib
carprofen

29
Q

Using meloxicam in cats

A

-can be used in cats long term
>need to ensure they are hydrated

**safety: safely given to cats with renal failure (no decrease in lifespan) and may even slow renal disease in some cats suffering from both CKD and DJD

30
Q

KEYS to NSAID use in small animals

A

Effects: Gi lesions, GI signs, hepatic damage, renal damage

No newer NSADI is consistently more effective than others

Use lowest effective dose

31
Q

Phenylbutazone (Bute)

A

-NSAID
-oral and injectable products
-very old drug used for musculoskeletal inflammation (lameness) label indications

32
Q

Flunixin meglumine (Banamine)

A

-injectable solution (IV or IM)
-indicated for musculoskeletal disorders and visceral pain (ex.colic)

33
Q

Firocoxib (Prevequine)

A

-NSAID
-Used for osteroarthritis in horses
-generally safe
-oral tablet

34
Q

Meloxicam in horses?

A

-Extra label use in Canada but in UK, used for acute and chronic musculo-skeletal disorders, colic pain

35
Q

Pregnant mare NSAIDs?

A

No approved NSAIDs for pregnant mares

36
Q

Meloxicam injectable in food animals uses

A

Cattle: diarrhea, used for de-horning pain, mastitis, abdominal surgery
Sheep: pain and inflammation
Swine: non-infectious locomotor disorders to reduce lameness and inflammation

-not labelled for castration, BRD, anti-pyretic

**will have meat and milk withdrawal times

37
Q

Meloxicam oral suspension in food animals

A

-Only labelled for castration
*double the dose of injectable

-cheaper than injectable

38
Q

Flunixin (banamine)

A

>believed to bind the endotoxin
-injectable

**has severe injection site rxns so can only be used IV

Q

Flunixin used transdermally

A

-Label use for pyrexia of BRD and mastitis, and analgesia for foot rot

40
Q

Ketoprofen (anafen)

A

-food animal NSAID (not other animals!!) for fever, pain, inflammation for a lot of disorders
-injectable
-cost is reasonable because able to earn it back from milking her

***no milk withdrawal period, short meat withdrawal time

41
Q

Aspirin

A

-not approved in USA, approved in Canada
-very poor bioavailability from the rumen

-cheap but get what you pay for
