Major function
Analgesic effect: Paracetam is used in veterinary medicine to alleviate mild to moderate pain in animals, such as joint pain, muscle pain, and postoperative pain.
Antipyretic effect: It can effectively reduce fever in animals and is commonly used to treat fever symptoms caused by infections, inflammation, or other diseases.
Pharmacological characteristics
Mechanism of action: Paracetamol works by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins in the central nervous system, which are key mediators that cause pain and fever.
Safety: At recommended doses, paracetamol is safe for most animals, but excessive use may cause liver damage, so it is crucial to use it under veterinary guidance.
The use of animal medicine raw materials
In the animal medicine industry, acetaminophen raw materials are used to produce various forms of veterinary drugs, including:
Tablets: Suitable for large animals such as cows, horses, etc., easy to take orally.
Capsule: a sealed form of medication that can protect sensitive ingredients from external environmental influences and is suitable for various animals.
Injection: Used for animals that cannot be orally administered, such as after surgery or severe vomiting.
Syrup: Suitable for small animals such as cats, dogs, etc., easy to consume.
