Yarvitan:  Dosage and administration
 
 
Yarvitan
Dosage and administration
Administer orally once daily
Dose
0.63 mg mitratapide/kg bodyweight (1 ml/8 kg). Use the dosing pipette as provided with the product. It is calibrated in kilograms.
Treatment schedule
Give for 2 periods of 21 days with a period of 14 days without treatment in between. (3 weeks-2 weeks-3 weeks)
During treatment
In order to allow proper dosing, the dog should be weighed on day 1 and on day 35 (i.e. at the start of each treatment period). Treatment should be given with food. During the first 21 days of treatment, the quantity of food the animal receives may remain unchanged. Thereafter, feeding should be in accordance with energy requirements for maintenance (to be calculated by the veterinarian). This can be achieved either with a regular pet food or with a low calorie (diet) pet food. Mitratapide therapy should be restricted to one treatment course for an individual dog.
