Abstract

The aim of this work was to report the use of dipyrone as an analgesic in domestic cats by South American veterinarians regarding dose, posology, period of use and the observed side effects. A virtual survey was conducted through the Google platform and was sent to veterinary professionals. The questionnaire was answered by a total of 288 veterinarians. Of these, 81.9% reported using the drug in their clinical routine. The 25 mg/kg-1 dose was the most cited, with 32.3% of the respondents affirming to administer it twice a day (BID), 19.1% once a day (SID) and 10.1% three times a day (TID). Another dose oftenly used is 12.5 mg/kg-1, BID (15.6%), SID (6.3%) and TID (4.9%). Still, 11.8% of the interviewees use the drug in varied doses and frequencies. The most commonly used administration period is 1 to 3 days (64.6%). The most observed adverse effects related to the use of dipyrone by 27.2% of the interviewees are sialorrhea, vomiting, agitation, allergic reaction, apathy, cardiac arrest, hypotension, among others.
