Maropitant citrate exhibits rapid absorption, short half-life, and fast clearance in orange-winged Amazon parrots (Amazona amazonica) following subcutaneous and intravenous administration
The results of this study suggest that the currently used doses and dosing intervals for maropitant in psittacine birds do not maintain above-target plasma concentrations considered therapeutic in dogs and may be insufficient to achieve systemic effects comparable to those observed in other species.
