Nebulised dexamethasone in horses

Nebulised dexamethasone in horses

  Haspel et. al compare the pharmokinetics and bioavailability of dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DSP) given by the intravenous and nebulised route. Their findings support similar studies in humans showing that efficacy between the two routes at reducing...

Abuterol and airway inflammation in cats

  Reinero et al. discuss the hypothesis that regular administration of R,S-albuterol or S-albuterol, but not R-albuterol, would induce airway inflammation in healthy and asthmatic cats. Racemic (R,S)-albuterol is a 1:1 mixture of an R-enantiomer which has...
