薬物相互作用

• Highly protein-bound medications: Use with caution; maropitant is highly protein-bound (99.5%) and could theoretically compete for binding sites, though clinical significance is undetermined.
• Calcium-channel antagonists: Maropitant has an affinity for calcium-channels; concurrent use should be avoided.
• Highly protein-bound drugs: Maropitant is highly bound to plasma proteins and may compete with other highly bound drugs, potentially altering free drug concentrations.
