Banamine is a medication used to treat pain and inflammation in horses. It is available in injectable and oral form. The injectable form is usually given by a veterinarian, while the oral form can be given by the owner. Banamine is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and works by reducing the production of prostaglandins, which are hormones that play a role in pain and inflammation.
Banamine should be stored at room temperature, between 68°F and 77°F (20°C and 25°C). It should be protected from light and moisture. If the medication is frozen, it should be thawed at room temperature and should not be refrozen. Any unused medication should be disposed of according to the instructions on the package.
Banamine is a prescription medication and should only be used according to the instructions of a veterinarian. It should not be used in horses that are allergic to it or any of its ingredients. NSAIDs can cause stomach ulcers and bleeding, so it is important to monitor horses closely for signs of gastrointestinal distress, such as colic. If a horse experiences any side effects, the owner should contact the veterinarian immediately.
How should Banamine be stored?
Banamine should be stored at a temperature between 15-30°C (59-86°F), in a dry place, and out of direct sunlight. Keep this and all other medications out of the reach of children and pets.
