For subcutaneous or intravenous use.
The veterinary medicinal product should be injected subcutaneously or intravenously, once daily, at a dose of 1 mg/kg bodyweight (1 ml/10 kg bodyweight) for up to 5 consecutive days. Intravenous administration of the veterinary medicinal product should be given as a single bolus without mixing the product with any other fluids.
To ensure a correct dosage, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible.
To prevent vomiting, the veterinary medicinal product should be administered more than 1 hour in advance. The duration of effect is approximately 24 h and therefore treatment can be given the night before administration of an agent that may cause emesis e.g. chemotherapy. As the pharmacokinetic variation is large and maropitant accumulates in the body after once daily repeated administration, lower doses than recommended might be sufficient in some individuals and when repeating the dose.
