Ethanol
別名: Alcohol, Grain alcohol, Everclear, Vodka (used for compounding), Medical alcohol
- **Intensive Care**: Systemically administered alcohol is a life-saving antidote that must be given in a controlled clinical environment (ICU). - **Side Effects**: Your pet will essentially be "intoxicated" during treatment. We will closely monitor their central nervous system, breathing, and fluid/electrolyte balance. - **Time-Sensitive**: This treatment is most effective when started immediately after antifreeze or methanol ingestion.
劑量必須由獸醫按你寵物的個別情況決定。切勿在沒有獸醫指導下給予人類藥物或其他寵物的處方藥。

注意事項與禁忌
- Concurrent use with fomepizole (usually contraindicated)
- Because ethylene glycol and methanol intoxications are life-threatening, there are no absolute contraindications to ethanol's use for these indications. Monitor fluid and electrolyte therapy requirements closely, as both the toxin and ethanol can cause diuresis. Watch for and avoid extravasation. Use during pregnancy only when necessary (FDA Category C). Ethanol may cause false positive reports on ethylene glycol screening tests.
藥物相互作用
- Bromocriptine: Alcohol may increase the severity of side effects seen with bromocriptine
- Activated Charcoal: Will inhibit absorption of orally administered ethanol; do not use if administering ethanol orally
- CNS Depressant Drugs (barbiturates, benzodiazepines, phenothiazines): Alcohol may cause additive CNS depression
- Fomepizole (4-MP): Inhibits alcohol dehydrogenase; ethanol metabolism is reduced significantly and alcohol poisoning (CNS depression, coma, death) can occur. Use together is generally not recommended.
- Insulin and antidiabetic drugs: Alcohol may affect glucose metabolism and the actions of insulin or oral antidiabetic agents
- Chlorpropamide, furazolidone, metronidazole: A disulfiram reaction (increased acetaldehyde with tachycardia, vomiting, weakness) may occur
- Fomepizole: Increases risk of severe alcohol toxicity; concurrent use should be avoided.
