Abstract

Dexamethasone, formulated as sodium phosphate and as phenylpropionate combined with sodium phosphate, was administered subcutaneously to six greyhounds. Plasma and urine were collected for up to 240h and analysed with a limit of quantification (LOQ) of at least 100pg/ml for dexamethasone. Dexamethasone, formulated as sodium phosphate, terminal half-life was 10.4h in plasma and approximately 16h in urine, and at 96h, plasma hydrocortisone concentrations returned to background with dexamethasone levels around the LOQ. Dexamethasone, formulated as phenylpropionate combined with sodium phosphate, terminal half-life, was 25.6h in plasma and approximately 26h in urine, and at 96h, plasma hydrocortisone concentrations returned to background with dexamethasone levels in three of the six greyhounds around the LOQ. Critical assessment of the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data indicated how it might be utilized for medication control in racing greyhounds.
