Maropitant is effective against vomiting. The anti-emetic efficacy of maropitant against central and peripheral emetics was demonstrated in experimental studies including apomorphine, cisplatin and syrup of ipecac (dogs) and xylazine (cats). Signs of nausea in dogs including excessive salivation and lethargy might remain after treatment.
Use only according to the benefit-risk assessment by the responsible veterinarian in pregnant and lactating animals because conclusive reproductive toxicity studies have not been conducted in any animal species.
The efficacy of Cerenia in reduction of nausea in cats was demonstrated in studies using a model (xylazine-induced nausea).
