Abstract
When administering opioid analgesic drugs or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, veterinarians are often not familiar enough with the underlying pharmacology of the drugs, particularly with the potential for drug interactions and adverse effects. This article considers some of the pharmacologic features of these drugs and provides a basis for important interactions, contraindications, and adverse effects.
