Cerenia (Maropitant Citrate) Injectable Solution 10mg/mL (20 mL)

Cerenia Injection for Dogs 10mg/mL (20 mL) - Maropitant Citrate Injectable Solution

Cerenia Injection for Dogs 10mg/mL (20 mL) is a veterinary-prescribed antiemetic injectable solution formulated with the active ingredient Maropitant Citrate, a neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptor antagonist. It is primarily used to prevent and treat acute vomiting in dogs and to prevent vomiting due to chemotherapy. Cerenia works by blocking signals in the brain responsible for nausea and vomiting, making it a vital solution for dogs with motion sickness, post-operative recovery, or gastrointestinal upset.

This injectable form is especially effective in acute cases where oral medication isn't feasible, and it offers fast-acting relief with results often noticeable within hours.

Prescription items are NON-RETURNABLE and NON-REFUNDABLE.

How Does Cerenia Injection Work?

The active compound, Maropitant Citrate, blocks Substance P, a neuropeptide that binds to NK1 receptors in the vomiting center of the brain. By inhibiting this interaction, Cerenia effectively halts the emetic reflex, reducing both the urge to vomit and the frequency of emetic episodes.
