NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MULTI DRUG RESISITANCE (MDR1)

MDR1 is the abbreviated name of a gene called Multi-Drug Resistance 1.  A mutation of this gene causes sensitivity to Ivermectin and a number of other drugs.  Dogs with the mutation will react to those drugs.   Whether a dog reacts depends on the dosage of the drug.  A dog may not react to very low doses, as with the amount of Ivermectin found in heart worm products.  Typical doses of a variety of medications will cause reactions in dogs with two copies of the mutation, but some drugs – most notably several chemotherapy agents – can cause reactions in dogs with only one.  Dogs with this mutation have a transport defect—the drug goes into their brains, fails to be transported out, and builds up to toxic levels.  This causes serious neurological problems including seizures and sometimes death.
