| Summary: | In the case of reptiles, the recommendations and dosages of medicines are based mainly on the clinical experience accumulated in the cabinets than on the pharmacokinetic studies. Many doses have been derived from mammals, but they have not yet been perfectly adapted to the significant body and metabolism variations that occur specifically in reptiles. That is why, the reports in the literature are often different, even contradictory. Also, generalizations between reptile classes have often been proven wrong. Due to the fact that reptiles are ectothermic, the environment or body temperature have a special significance in the rate of absorption, excretion or toxicity of the drugs administered. From the desire to provide as much useful data as possible, the list presented is updated and comes from various sources that deal with this topic of the reptiles’ therapy (but often contradictory doses recommended by the authors of the sources are presented in some medicines or associations). For this reason, the personal experience of clinicians in exotic animal diseases is often decisive and priceless. |
