Pharmacokinetic values for flunixin meglumine (1 mg/kg of body weight) and phenylbutazone (4 mg/kg) dosages were determined after a single IV injection with and without concurrent intragastric administration of probenecid (50 mg/kg) in 6 healthy mares. Significant difference was not apparent in the pharmacokinetic values of flunixin meglumine with and without concurrent probenecid administration. Significant (P less than or equal to 0.05) increase was evident in the 12-hour mean concentration of phenylbutazone (11.45 +/- 1.66 micrograms/ml without probenecid; 14.56 +/- 1.20 micrograms/ml with probenecid) along with significant (P less than or equal to 0.05) reduction in its volume of distribution at steady state associated with concurrent probenecid administration (218.6 +/- 11.52 ml/kg without probenecid; 169.4 +/- 9.25 ml/kg with probenecid).

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D010653	Phenylbutazone	A butyl-diphenyl-pyrazolidinedione that has anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and analgesic activities. It has been used in ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS; RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS; and REACTIVE ARTHRITIS.	Diphenylbutazone,Fenilbutazon,Butacote,Butadion,Butadione,Butapirazol,Butapyrazole,Butazolidin
D011339	Probenecid	The prototypical uricosuric agent. It inhibits the renal excretion of organic anions and reduces tubular reabsorption of urate. Probenecid has also been used to treat patients with renal impairment, and, because it reduces the renal tubular excretion of other drugs, has been used as an adjunct to antibacterial therapy.

D006736	Horses	Large, hoofed mammals of the family EQUIDAE. Horses are active day and night with most of the day spent seeking and consuming food. Feeding peaks occur in the early morning and late afternoon, and there are several daily periods of rest.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
