Addition of Amlodipine, Ciclesonide and Methadone to the Schedule of


Prohibited Drugs in the Pari-Mutuel Betting Supervision Regulations In consultation with its Drug Advisory Committee,


the Canadian Pari-Mutuel Agency (CPMA) has officially added the following drugs to section 1 of the Schedule to the Pari-Mutuel Betting Supervision Regulations: Am- lodipine, Ciclesonide and Methadone. Amlodipine is an approved veterinary drug used to


reduce high blood pressure in cats. This drug is not rec- ognized for use in horses. Ciclesonide is an inhaled steroid used to treat


breathing problems in horses caused by asthma. The CPMA intends to develop and publish an Elimination Guideline for ciclesonide. Methadone is an opioid painkiller licensed for cats. Any detection of the above drugs may result in a


positive test. The CPMA strongly recommends consulting a vet-


erinarian on any decision to administer supplements or medications to a racehorse. Testing for these drugs will begin on December 1,

we are still getting reports of an- imals in distress. Lets get those fingers into your wallet and pro- vide food and shelter for these misfortunate creatures that have enriched our lives. Adopt a homeless horse. You can always find extra room in your pasture and barn for these wondrous ani- mals. Lets do it today. You will feel better for having taken in a homeless horse or animal. Be- lieve me, they know how to thank you. So lets get out to the horse and animal rescue centres and do some good. If you can’t take in a horse or other animal send food or money. Remember it is your duty to


report elder, parental, child and animal abuse to the proper au- thorities. If you know and don’t do anything about it then you are wearing it forever on your con- science. Thank you for looking down
