Dosage Amount, Indications & Limitations |
522.1883 Prednisolone sodium phosphate injection, sterile. Specifications: Each milliliter contains 20 milligrams of prednisolone sodium phosphate (equivalent to 14.88 milligrams of prednisolone) in sterile aqueous solution. Conditions of use: Dogs Amount: It is administered intravenously in a dosage of 2 1/2 to 5 milligrams of prednisolone sodium phosphate per pound of body weight, initially for shock and shock-like states, followed by equal maintenance doses at 1-, 3-, 6-, or 10-hour intervals as determined by the condition of the animal. If permanent use is required, oral therapy (tablets) may be substituted. If therapy is to be withdrawn after prolonged use, reduce daily dose gradually over a number of days. Indications: It is used in treatment of dogs when a rapid adrenal glucocorticoid and/or anti-inflammatory effect is necessary. Limitations: Do not use in viral infections. Except in emergency therapy, do not use with tuberculosis, chronic nephritis, Cushing's disease, or peptic ulcers. With infections, use appropriate antibacterial therapy with and for at least 3 days after, discontinuance of use and disappearance of all signs of infection. Clinical and experimental data have demonstrated that corticosteroids administered orally or parenterally to animals may induce the first stage of parturition when administered during the last trimester of pregnancy and may precipitate premature parturition followed by dystocia, fetal death, retained placenta and metritis. Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian. |
