Sodium Iodide / Potassium Iodide
別名: SSKI, Iodoject, Pima, Thyrosafe, Iosat
Administering this medication can be challenging due to its extremely unpleasant taste. * **Administration:** When giving orally to dogs or cats, mix the dose with food or a fatty liquid (like whole milk or ice cream) to improve palatability and reduce the chance of nausea and vomiting. * **Toxicity Monitoring:** Watch your pet closely for signs of iodine toxicity (iodism). Contact your veterinarian immediately if you notice excessive tearing, runny nose, coughing, severe dandruff, vomiting, or loss of appetite. * **Food Animals:** If treating livestock intended for human consumption, consult your veterinarian regarding appropriate withdrawal times (FARAD guidance recommended). * **Nursing:** Do not use in nursing animals unless directed, as the drug passes into milk. Switch to a milk replacer if the mother requires treatment.
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。
