flunixin meglumine equivalent to 50 mg
flunixin, 0.1 mg edetate disodium, 2.2 mg sodium formaldehyde
sulfoxylate, 4.0 mg diethanolamine,
207.2 mg propylene glycol, 5.0 mg phenol as preservative, hydrochloric
acid, water for injection q.s.
PHARMACOLOGY
Flunixin meglumine is a potent, non-narcotic, nonsteroidal, analgesic
agent with anti-inflammatory and
antipyretic activity. It is significantly more potent than
pentazocine, meperidine, and codeine as an
analgesic in the rat yeast paw test.
HORSE: Flunixin is four times as potent on a mg-per-mg basis as
phenylbutazone as measured by the
reduction in lameness and swelling in the horse. Plasma half-life in
horse serum is 1.6 hours following
a single dose of 1.1 mg/kg. Measurable amounts are detectable in horse
plasma at 8 hours postinjection.
CATTLE: Flunixin meglumine is a weak acid (pKa=5.82)1 which exhibits a
high degree of plasma protein
binding (approximately 99%).2 However, free (unbound) drug appears to
readily partition into body
tissues (Vss predictions range from 297 to 782 mL/kg.2-5 Total body
water is approximately equal to
570 mL/kg).6 In cattle, elimination occurs primarily through biliary
excretion.7 This may, at least in part,
explain the presence of multiple peaks in the blood concentration/time
profile following IV
administration.2
In healthy cattle, total body clearance has been reported to range
from 90-151 mL/kg/hr.2-5 These
studies also report a large discrepancy between the volume of
distribution at steady state (Vss) and the
volume of distribution associated with the termin
