  • Prevention of acute vomiting: Given at least one hour prior to anticipated emetogenic event
  • Prevention of acute vomiting: Given at least two hours prior to anticipated emetogenic event
  • Treatment of acute vomiting: If a longer duration of therapy is needed, a 48 hour washout period is recommended due to accumulation of the drug.
  • Prevention of vomiting due to motion sickness: Given at least two hours prior to travel. If a longer duration of therapy is needed, a 72 hour washout period is recommended.
  • Treatment and prevention of vomiting (including chemotherapy): Repeat treatment at a lower dose may be adequate in some individuals. If longer periods of treatment are required, a 72-hour interval is recommended between courses.
  • Motion sickness: Not all preparations are specifically licensed for this purpose.

概覽

馬羅皮坦(Cerenia®)是一種強效的​神經激肽-1 (NK-1) 受體拮抗劑​,廣泛用於預防和治療犬貓的急性嘔吐及暈車。除了止吐作用外,它還具有​內臟鎮痛​的特性,並能降低全身麻醉劑(如七氟醚)的需求量。

作用機轉

Maropitant exerts its effects by acting as a potent and selective antagonist at the neurokinin-1 (NK-1) receptors in the central nervous system (specifically the emetic center and chemoreceptor trigger zone).

  • Substance P Inhibition: It competitively binds to NK-1 receptors, blocking the binding of Substance P, a key neuropeptide/neurotransmitter involved in the emetic pathway.
  • Dual Action: Because Substance P is the final common pathway for vomiting, maropitant effectively suppresses emesis triggered by both central and peripheral stimuli.
  • Pain Modulation: Substance P is also heavily involved in nociception; blocking its receptors in the visceral pathways provides significant visceral pain relief.

安全性與警告

禁忌症

  • Puppies less than 11 weeks old (due to risk of bone marrow hypoplasia)
  • Suspected gastrointestinal obstruction
  • Suspected gastrointestinal perforation
  • Use for longer than 48 hours without a definitive diagnosis

不良反應

  • Pre-travel vomiting (especially at higher motion sickness doses)
  • Hypersalivation
  • Pain or swelling at the subcutaneous injection site
  • Diarrhea
  • Anorexia
  • Localized injection site reactions (cats)
  • Transient pain reaction during injection (very common, especially in cats)
  • Haemolysis (at very high doses in cats)

注意事項

Use with caution in dogs with hepatic dysfunction as maropitant is hepatically metabolized. Use with caution in puppies less than 11 weeks old due to a higher frequency and severity of bone marrow hypoplasia. The safe use of maropitant has not been evaluated in breeding, pregnant, or lactating dogs; use only following a benefit/risk assessment.

藥物交互作用

Highly protein-bound medications

Use with caution; maropitant is highly protein-bound (99.5%) and could theoretically compete for binding sites, though clinical significance is undetermined.

Calcium-channel antagonistsMajor

Maropitant has an affinity for calcium-channels; concurrent use should be avoided.

Highly protein-bound drugsModerate

Maropitant is highly bound to plasma proteins and may compete with other highly bound drugs, potentially altering free drug concentrations.

監測

  • Clinical efficacy (decreased episodes of vomiting)
  • Adverse effects (e.g., injection site pain, hypersalivation)
  • Resolution of vomiting
  • Liver function (in patients with pre-existing hepatic disease)
  • Signs of gastrointestinal obstruction or perforation

藥物動力學

半衰期

Approximately 15 hours8.84 hours (SC); 4.03 hours (PO)

吸收

Rapidly absorbed after PO & SC administration. Bioavailability in dogs: 24% (2 mg/kg PO), 37% (8 mg/kg PO), and 91% (1 mg/kg SC). Feeding status does not affect bioavailability. In cats, bioavailability is ~50% (PO) and 100+% (SC).

分佈

Plasma protein binding is very high (99.5%).

代謝

Hepatic metabolism involves two cytochrome P450 enzymes: CYP2D15 (low capacity, high affinity) and CYP3A12 (high capacity, low affinity). The major pharmacologically active metabolite is CJ-18,518.

排除

Eliminated primarily by the liver. Urinary recovery of maropitant and its major metabolite is minimal (<1%).

過量

Maropitant has a wide margin of safety.

  • Dogs: Tolerance has been confirmed at doses up to 3 times the recommended oral dose (8 mg/kg) for 3 times longer than the maximum duration.
  • ​High-Dose Toxicity (20 mg/kg/day in dogs)​: Can cause emesis, significant body weight loss (8-15%), ECG changes (slight increases in P-R interval, P wave duration, and QRS amplitude), slightly lower serum albumin, and increased adrenal weights.
  • Rodent Studies: Doses up to 30-100 mg/kg PO caused decreased activity, irregular/labored respiration, ataxia, and tremors.

飼主須知

  • ​給藥技巧​:請勿將藥錠緊緊包裹或埋在食物/零食中,這可能會延遲藥錠的溶解與吸收。
  • ​飲食建議​:避免在給藥前讓寵物長時間空腹。
  • ​預防暈車​:在給予暈車藥前一小時,餵食少量餐點或零食,可減少給藥後引發的行前嘔吐。
  • ​注射部位​:皮下注射可能會引起短暫的疼痛或腫脹。
