WHY
‘Veterinary Technician must understand
why the diagnosis was made, why the
surgery was performed, why the prognosis
was rendered and why the treatment was
prescribed’
Medication Error
“Medication error as any
preventable event that
may cause or lead to
inappropriate medication
use or patient harm while
the medication is in the
control of the health care
professional, patient, or
consumer” June 2010

“Taste of raspberries…
taste of death” "
But to realize that six human
beings, all of them my patients, one
of them my best friend, are dead
because they took medicine that I
prescribed for them innocently, and
to realize that that medicine which I
had used for years in such cases
suddenly had become a deadly poison
in its newest and most modern
form, as recommended by a great and
reputable pharmaceutical firm in
Tennessee: well, that realization
has given me such days and nights of
mental and spiritual agony as I did not
believe a human being
could undergo and survive. I have
known hours when death for me would
be a welcome relief from this
agony." (Letter by Dr. A.S. Calhoun,
October 22, 1937)
Regulation of Drug Products
• The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) became a
government agency to enforce the federal Pure Food and
Drug Act of 1906
– The Pure Food and Drug Act established standards for drug strength,
purity, and guidelines for drug labeling
• Until the late 1930s, the FDA had little power to determine
and enforce correct drug dosage information
• In 1938, Congress passed the federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (FDCA), which required that a drug be
adequately tested to demonstrate its safety when used as its
label directs
• In 1972, the FDCA was amended to include many more
protections

Regulation of Drug Products
• The FDA is headed by a commissioner and organized into a
number of different centers
• The FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) ensures that
approved veterinary medicines will not harm animals
• The FDA-CVM prohibits the sale and use of a drug that would
cause animals to suffer serious health problems
• The 1968 amendments to the FDCA made drug manufacturers
specify drug withdrawal periods and detection methods for
determining drug residues in animal foodstuffs

CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES
• Drugs that are considered to be dangerous because of the
potential for human misuse or abuse
• They are regulated by the DRUG ENFORCEMENT
ADMINISTRATION (DEA) via the CONTROLLED
SUBSTANCES ACT of 1970. Before this act, drug abuse was
defined as the illicit use of an illegal drug or the improper use
of a prescription drug.
• After 1970, controlled substances were classified into 5
schedules that are based on the potential for abuse. The higher
the number (schedule), the lower the risk for abuse.
• Vet

CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES
• FDA (DHHS) regulates the development

THE FOLLOWING IS THE PART OF THE
PACKAGE INSERT FOR RIMADYL…..
Can you identify which section refers to
PHARMACODYNAMICS and which refers to
PHARMACOKINETICS?
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY: Carprofen is a non-narcotic, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory
agent with characteristic analgesic and antipyretic activity approximately equipotent to
indomethacin in animal models. The mechanism of action of carprofen, like that of other
NSAIDs, is believed to be associated with the inhibition of cyclooxygenase activity. Two
unique cyclooxygenases have been described in mammals. The constitutive cyclooxygenase,
COX-1, synthesizes prostaglandins necessary for normal gastrointestinal and renal
function. The inducible cyclooxygenase, COX-2, generates prostaglandins involved in
inflammation. Inhibition of COX-1 is thought to be associated with gastrointestinal and
renal toxicity while inhibition of COX-2 provides anti-inflammatory activity. The
specificity of a particular NSAID for COX-2 versus COX-1 may vary from species to
species. In an in vitro study using canine cell cultures, carprofen demonstrated selective
inhibition of COX-2 versus COX-1. Clinical relevance of these data has not been shown.
Carprofen has also been shown to inhibit the release of several prostaglandins in two
inflammatory cell systems: rat polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) and human
rheumatoid synovial cells, indicating inhibition of acute (PMN system) and chronic (synovial
cell system) inflammatory reactions. Several studies have demonstrated that carprofen
has modulatory effects on both humoral and cellular immune responses. Data also indicate
that carprofen inhibits the production of osteoclast-activating factor (OAF), PGE1, and
PGE2 by its inhibitory effect in prostaglandin biosynthesis.
Based upon comparison with data obtained from intravenous administration, carprofen is
rapidly and nearly completely absorbed (more than 90% bioavailable) when administered
orally. Peak blood plasma concentrations are achieved in 1–3 hours after oral
administration of 1, 5, and 25 mg/kg to dogs. The mean terminal half-life of carprofen is
approximately 8 hours (range 4.5–9.8 hours) after single oral doses varying from 1–35
mg/kg of body weight. After a 100 mg single intravenous bolus dose, the mean elimination
half-life was approximately 11.7 hours in the dog. Rimadyl is more than 99% bound to
plasma protein and exhibits a very small volume of distribution. Carprofen is eliminated in
the dog primarily by biotransformation in the liver followed by rapid excretion of the
resulting metabolites (the ester glucuronide of carprofen and the ether glucuronides of 2
phenolic metabolites, 7-hydroxy carprofen and 8-hydroxy carprofen) in the feces (70–
80%) and urine (10–20%). Some enterohepatic circulation of the drug is observed.
