Mineral Oil / White Petrolatum
別名: Laxatone, Laxa-Stat, Vedalax, Cat Lax, Petromalt, Kondremul
> **CRITICAL WARNING:** Never force liquid mineral oil into your pet's mouth using a syringe. If accidentally inhaled into the lungs, it causes a severe and potentially fatal condition called **lipid pneumonitis**. * For cats with hairballs, use commercially prepared, flavored gels (like Laxatone) exactly as directed by your veterinarian. Place a small amount on their paw or nose to let them lick it off naturally. * Do not use these products long-term without veterinary supervision, as they can block the absorption of essential vitamins (Vitamins A, D, E, and K). * You may notice some oily discharge from your pet's rectum; this is normal but can soil furniture or carpets.
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。

- Extreme caution must be used to avoid aspiration, which can cause severe, irreversible lipid pneumonitis. Do not administer liquid mineral oil orally via syringe to struggling small animals; rectal administration is preferred if used as a laxative in these species. When 'tubing' large animals, absolutely ascertain that the tube is in the stomach and administer at a reasonable rate.
藥物相互作用
- Docusate (DSS): Theoretically enhances the absorption of mineral oil, which could lead to systemic granulomatous reactions. Avoid concurrent use, though clinical significance in large animals appears low.
- Vitamins A, D, E, K: Chronic administration of mineral oil may decrease the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Administer between meals to minimize this effect.
