Pergolide
別名: Permax, Celance, Nopar, Parkotil, Parlide, Pharken
> **Important:** Pergolide manages Equine Cushing's Disease (PPID) but does not cure it. Treatment is typically required for the rest of the horse's life. * **Patience is Key:** It may take several weeks to months to see noticeable improvements in your horse's hair coat, energy levels, and weight. * **Appetite Changes:** Some horses may eat less during the first week of treatment. If this happens, contact your veterinarian; a temporary dose reduction usually resolves the issue. * **Storage Matters:** If using a compounded liquid suspension, keep it in the refrigerator, protected from light. **Discard it after 30 days or if it changes color**, as the medication degrades quickly in water. * **Holistic Care:** Proper nutrition, regular farrier care, and weight management are crucial alongside medication for the successful treatment of this disease.
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。
