์์ฉ ๊ธฐ์ : Tolfenamic acid exerts its effects through multiple pathways in the inflammatory cascade: * **Cyclooxygenase (COX) Inhibition:** It is a potent inhibitor of the **COX** enzyme, which prevents the conversion of arachidonic acid โ **prostaglandins (PGs)** and **thromboxanes (TXA2)**. This reduces inflammation, pain, and fever. * **Direct Receptor Antagonism:** Uniquely among NSAID classes, fenamates directly block the binding of synthesized prostaglandins to their respective tissue receptors (e.g., EP receptors), providing a secondary mechanism of action against pain and inflammation. * **Anti-thromboxane Activity:** By inhibiting TXA2 synthesis, it significantly impairs platelet aggregation and normal clotting function.

- Hypersensitivity to tolfenamic acid or other fenamates (e.g., meclofenamic acid)
- Active gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration
- Pre-surgical administration (due to anti-thromboxane/platelet effects)
- Dehydrated, hypovolemic, or hypotensive patients
- Patients with gastrointestinal disease
- Patients with blood clotting problems
- Pregnant animals
- Animals under 6 weeks of age
- Intramuscular (IM) administration in cats
์ด์๋ฐ์
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Gastrointestinal ulceration (at high doses)
- Platelet dysfunction/prolonged bleeding time
- Potential nephrotoxicity (especially in dehydrated patients)
- Gastrointestinal signs (vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia)
- Gastrointestinal ulceration and bleeding
- Renal toxicity (especially during hypotension)
- Potential precipitation of cardiac failure (rare/unknown risk in animals)
์ฝ๋ฌผ ์ํธ์์ฉ
- Aspirin ยท May increase the risk of gastrointestinal toxicity (e.g., ulceration, bleeding, vomiting, diarrhea).
- Corticosteroids ยท Concomitant therapy may increase the occurrence of gastric ulceration; avoid concurrent use.
- Digoxin ยท NSAIDs may increase serum levels of digoxin.
- Fluconazole ยท May increase plasma levels of NSAIDs; potentially affects tolfenamic acid levels in dogs.
- Furosemide ยท NSAIDs may reduce the saluretic and diuretic effects of furosemide.
- Methotrexate ยท Serious toxicity has occurred with concomitant NSAID use; use together with extreme caution.
- Nephrotoxic Drugs (e.g., aminoglycosides, amphotericin B) ยท May enhance the risk of nephrotoxicity.
- Other NSAIDs ยท May increase the risk of gastrointestinal toxicity (e.g., ulceration, bleeding, vomiting, diarrhea). ยท major
- Warfarin ยท Tolfenamic acid is 98-99% protein-bound; may displace highly protein-bound drugs like warfarin, increasing bleeding risk. Monitor closely.
- Glucocorticoids ยท Increased risk of gastrointestinal ulceration and bleeding. Do not administer concurrently or within 24 hours. ยท major
- Aminoglycosides ยท Increased risk of nephrotoxicity. ยท major

- Clinical efficacy (pain scores, resolution of inflammation)
- Adverse effects (vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia)
- Renal function (BUN, Creatinine, SDMA, USG) with prolonged use
- Signs of GI bleeding (melena, pale mucous membranes)
- Clinical signs of gastrointestinal toxicity (vomiting, diarrhea, melena, anorexia)
- Renal parameters (BUN, creatinine, USG), especially in perioperative or hypotensive patients
- Liver enzymes in patients receiving prolonged therapy

Acute toxicity data is limited. Experimental studies in dogs and cats did not demonstrate significant renal or GI toxicity until doses exceeded 10 times the labeled dose. **Treatment Protocol:** * **Decontamination:** Empty the gut following recent oral ingestion (emesis induction, activated charcoal). * **Supportive Care:** Institute IV fluid therapy to maintain hydration and support renal perfusion. * **Seizure Control:** Use IV **diazepam** if seizures occur. * **Monitoring:** Closely monitor for signs of gastrointestinal bleeding (melena, hematemesis). Monitor electrolyte and fluid balance carefully, and manage any acute renal failure using established veterinary guidelines.
