Equine Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics

Comprehensive resource translating evidence-based research into practical clinical pharmacology 

Now in its second edition, Equine Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics is a comprehensive resource for practical information on drugs that’s tailored for equine practice. The book translates evidence-based research into clinical pharmacology for daily use in the clinic, making it an essential reference for the practitioner. Each chapter includes figures, learning objectives, take home messages and best practice tips to aid comprehension.

Emphasizing the particular pharmacologic considerations in horses, the book is structured based on body system, with specialized chapters on fluid therapy, donkeys, dermatology, antimicrobials, anthelmintics, biologics, prescribing, and compounding. A formulary offers quick access to dosages. Equine Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics discusses:

• Parasiticides (endo- and endectocides), antiprotozoal drugs, the endocrine and gastrointestinal systems, intraarticular medication, skeletal muscle, and neurological system and behavior modification
• The urinary, reproductive, and cardiovascular systems, ophthalmic therapeutics, NSAIDs, anesthetics, tranquilizers, and opioid analgesics
• Fluid therapy, regenerative therapies, drug delivery techniques and formulations, drugs and performance horses, and foal drug issues and concerns
• Donkeys, dermatology, antimicrobials, anthelmintics, biologics, prescribing, and compounding
• The latest trends, developments, and emerging areas for future research in the field of equine medicine

Designed for practicality, Equine Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics provides the practicing clinician with the information they need to make informed, ethical, and effective decisions about pharmacologic therapy and the assessment of treatment outcomes.
