Signs can be ataxia, incoordination, hyperventilation, hysteria and muscle weakness. Signs are transient and disappear without antidotal medication within a few minutes. Do not use in horses showing hypersensitivity to flunixin meglumine. Cattle: NSAIDs inhibit production of prostaglandins which are important in signaling the initiation of partu

(equivalent to 83 mg
flunixin meglumine), 0.1 mg edetate disodium, 2.5 mg sodium

phenol as
preservative, hydrochloric acid, water for injection q.s.
PHARMACOLOGY
Flunixin meglumine is a potent, non-narcotic, non-steroidal, analgesic
agent with anti-
inflammatory and anti-pyretic 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 post injection.
_Cattle:_ Flunixin meglumine is a weak acid (pKa=5.82) which exhibits
a high degree of
plasma protein binding (approximately 99%) . However, free (unbound)
drug appears to
readily partition into body tissues (V
predictions range from 297 to 782 mL/kg.
Total body water is approximately equal to 570 mL/kg) . In cattle,
elimination occurs
primarily through biliary excretion . This may, at least in part,
explain the presence of
multiple peaks in the blood concentration/time profile following IV
administration .
In healthy cattle, total body clearance has been reported to range
from 90 to 151
mL/kg/hr
. These studies also report a large discrepancy between the volume of
distribution at steady state (V
) and the volume of distribution associated with the
terminal elimination phase (V ).
