Kinetic disposition of flunixin meglumine in the camel (Camelus dromedarius).
The kinetic disposition of flunixin meglumine was investigated in 5 camels after a single intravenous administration (1.1 mg/kg bwt). The plasma clearance was 1.012 ml.min-1.kg-1, the steady-state volume of distribution 0.168 l/kg and the elimination half-life 2.51 h. The results are discussed and compared with those reported in cattle and horses.
