Fitergol:  Dosage and administration
 
 
Fitergol
Dosage and administration
Tablets to be given orally.
Single administration daily of between 0.25 and 0.50 mg/kg/day to be given every morning for 30 days.
Treatment may be repeated depending on outcome.
The following table specifies the number of tablets to be administered in accordance with the dog's weight:-
Weight (kg)
Number of Tablets
10 to 20
     1
21 to 30
     2
31 to 40
     3
Because FITERGOL is presented in a freeze dried form, it is not possible to break the tablets in half, and consequently a half dose for dogs weighing 5–10 kg cannot be administered in this way. For dogs in this weight range, FITERGOL may therefore be administered in solution. Owners should be instructed to dissolve one tablet in 10 ml of water, stir or shake gently until dissolved, and then immediately administer 5 ml of the solution. The remainder of the solution must be discarded. A 10 ml syringe and suitable container should be provided for this purpose.
