- **Urine Discoloration:** Furazolidone may innocuously discolor your pet's urine to a dark yellow or brown color; this is not significant and should not cause alarm. - **Gastrointestinal Upset:** Watch for signs of decreased appetite, vomiting, abdominal cramping, or diarrhea. Have clients report prolonged or serious GI effects to their veterinarian. - **Dietary Restrictions:** Because this drug affects certain enzymes (MAO), avoid feeding your pet foods high in tyramine (like certain fish or poultry) unless directed otherwise by your vet. - **Missed Doses:** Give the missed dose as soon as you remember, but never give two doses at once.
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

- Use with extreme caution due to its monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) properties, which can cause severe interactions with various drugs and tyramine-rich foods. The FDA strictly prohibits the extralabel use of furazolidone in food animals. May cause a false-positive urine glucose determination when using the cupric sulfate solution test (e.g., Clinitest).
