Highly selective long-acting beta-2 agonist that provides sustained bronchodilation for ~12 hours through prolonged receptor binding.
Slower onset than formoterol — not for rescue use. Must combine with inhaled corticosteroid. Tachycardia risk.
Species-specific contraindications and adverse-reaction reports for dog may differ from canine / feline reference data — consult the primary citations listed with each rule.
Why a species-specific page? Salmeterol pharmacokinetics differ across species: dose ranges, intervals, and route preferences are not interchangeable. Cross-extrapolation from canine doses is unsafe in dog — the rules above are the citations specific to this species, not generic recommendations.
