Adverse Reactions
Flunixin meglumine is a non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug(NSAID).
Untoward effects include gastrointestinal irritation, ulceration and, in dehydrated or hypovolaemic animals, potential for renal damage.
Rare cases of anaphylactic reaction have been reported. In horses (rare) and cattle (very rare) anaphylaxis type reactions can include neurological signs such as convulsion, loss of consciousness and ataxia. Such reactions may be exacerbated by intra-arterial injection.
Special Precautions
Avoid intra-arterial injection.
Do not use in piglets weighing less than 6 kg.
It is preferable that NSAIDs, which inhibit prostaglandin synthesis are not administered to animals undergoing general anaesthesia until fully recovered.
Since many NSAIDs possess the potential to produce gastrointestinal ulceration, concomitant use of flunixin meglumine with other anti-inflammatory drugs, such as other NSAIDs and corticosteroids, should be avoided.
Concurrent administration of potentially nephrotoxic drugs should be avoided.
