Description
Some key topics that will be covered in the webinar include:
-The common toxins encountered in veterinary medicine, such as human food, medications, household chemicals, rodenticides, and recreational drugs.
-The role of adsorbents/binders alongside other treatments like emetics, gastric lavage, and antidotes in managing toxic ingestions.
-The design features of adsorbent products, including characteristics like palatability, ease of administration, and prevention of aspiration.
-Considerations when selecting adsorbent products, such as the spectrum of adsorbency, specific administration instructions, and additional ingredients to aid in toxin elimination.
-The importance of understanding toxin chemical properties in determining the appropriate use of adsorbents in veterinary practice.
By delving into these topics and incorporating the expertise of the speaker, the webinar aims to provide an overview of adsorbents in veterinary medicine and their role in managing toxicities in animals.
