Glutamine
> **What is Glutamine?** > Glutamine is a naturally occurring amino acid that helps provide energy to the cells lining the stomach and intestines. It is often used as a nutritional supplement to help the gut heal during severe illness, such as parvovirus, pancreatitis, or during chemotherapy. - **Administration:** Glutamine can be administered with food. If your pet is not eating, the powder can be dissolved in their drinking water as directed by your veterinarian. - **Safety:** It is generally very safe and well-tolerated. - **Precautions:** Inform your veterinarian if your pet has a history of liver disease, seizures, or behavioral disorders, as glutamine may not be appropriate for them.
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。

可能的副作用
- Generally well tolerated
- Potential CNS effects at very high dosages
- Increased serum ammonia or glutamate levels
注意事項與禁忌
- Severe hepatic insufficiency
- Severe behavior disorders
- Epilepsy or seizure disorders
- Use with caution in patients with severe hepatic insufficiency, severe behavior disorders, or epilepsy, as glutamine is partially metabolized into ammonia and glutamate. There is insufficient data documenting the safe use of glutamine during pregnancy or nursing.
藥物相互作用
- Anticonvulsant medications (e.g., phenobarbital, potassium bromide): Glutamine could potentially decrease the efficacy of antiseizure medications because it is partially converted into glutamate, which acts as an excitatory neurotransmitter in the CNS.
- Lactulose: Theoretically, glutamine may antagonize the ammonia-lowering effects of lactulose in patients being treated for hepatic encephalopathy.
