Dosage and administration
For subcutaneous use in dogs and cats.
Cerenia Solution for Injection should be injected subcutaneously once daily at a dose of 1 mg/kg bodyweight (1 ml/10 kg bodyweight) for up to 5 consecutive days.
In dogs, Cerenia can be used to treat or prevent vomiting either as tablets or as Solution for Injection once daily for up to 5 days. Although Cerenia is effective in the treatment and prevention of vomiting induced by chemotherapy, it is more efficacious if used preventatively. Therefore it is recommended to administer Cerenia prior to the administration of the chemotherapeutic agent.
To prevent vomiting, Cerenia Solution for Injection should be administered more than 1 hour in advance. The duration of effect is approximately 24 hours and therefore treatment can be given the night before administration of an agent that may cause emesis e.g. chemotherapy. In some individual animals, and when repeating the treatment, lower doses than recommended might be sufficient.
