Chronic use in young, growing animals must be undertaken cautiously, as decreased growth may occur. Avoid using during pregnancy as it may induce premature parturition with retained placenta.
藥物相互作用
- Digitalis glycosides (digoxin): Increased chance of digitalis toxicity may occur should hypokalemia develop; diligent monitoring of potassium and digitalis glycoside levels is recommended
- Potassium-depleting diuretics (furosemide, thiazides): Administered concomitantly with glucocorticoids may cause hypokalemia
- Salicylates: Glucocorticoids may reduce salicylate blood levels
- Ulcerogenic drugs (e.g., NSAIDs): With glucocorticoids may increase the risk of gastrointestinal ulceration
- Vaccines, toxoids, bacterins: A diminished immune response may occur; patients receiving immunosuppressive dosages should generally not receive live attenuated-virus vaccines
