**Administration**: Give the medication exactly as prescribed by your veterinarian.

Watch for excessive squinting, redness, or thick, sticky eye discharge. > **WARNING**: Never give this medication to cats or other pets, as it can be highly toxic and potentially fatal to them. Keep out of reach of all animals and children.

藥物相互作用

- Cyclosporine: May increase cyclosporine blood levels and increase the risk for nephrotoxicity.
- Digoxin: May increase serum levels of digoxin. Use with caution in severe cardiac failure.
- Furosemide & other diuretics: May reduce the saluretic and diuretic effects of furosemide.
- Methotrexate: Serious toxicity has occurred with concomitant NSAID use.
- Nephrotoxic agents (amphotericin B, aminoglycosides, cisplatin): Potential for increased risk of nephrotoxicity.
- Phenobarbital: May increase the metabolism of etodolac in dogs.
- Probenecid: May cause a significant increase in serum levels and half-life of etodolac.
