Pharmaceuticals in equine medicine encompass a wide range of drugs and therapeutic agents used to treat various conditions in horses. These substances include analgesics, anti-inflammatories, antibiotics, sedatives, and anthelmintics, among others. Each class of pharmaceuticals is designed to address specific health issues, such as pain management, infection control, or parasitic infestations. The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of these drugs can vary significantly between horses and other species, necessitating careful consideration of dosage and administration methods. This page compiles peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore the development, efficacy, safety, and regulatory aspects of pharmaceuticals used in equine healthcare.
Mefanamic acid blood and urine levels in the horse determined by derivative gas-liquid chromatography-electron capture. Mefenamic acid is extracted from biological fluids and is acylated with pentafluoropropionic anhydride to form a derivative possessing high electron affinity. The derivative is analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography with an electron capture detector. The method is particularly valuable for determining drug levels in blood where small sample and/or drug concentrations are available.
Plasma concentrations, plasma protein binding and residues of sulfamonomethoxine in pigs, horses and cattle. The protein binding, the plasma half-life and the residue depletion of sulfamonomethoxine (SMM) after intramuscular administration were investigated in pigs, horses and cattle. Protein binding was weakly concentration-dependent. The bound fraction in plasma in the therapeutic range amounted to approximately 45, 40 and 50% for pigs, horses and cattle respectively, and the plasma half-lives were approximately 5.1, 5.7 and 3.1 hours respectively. SMM levels were less than 1 mug/g in muscle tissue after 36, 20 and 12 hours in pigs, horses and cattle respectively. In the kidney SMM levels were not ...
