Analogs of Fosprenil for animals, where and how the drug is used

Tell me, what are the analogues of Fosprenil for animals? We have a rather old cat who is often sick. Recently I caught a virus somewhere, the veterinarian prescribed Fosprenil, but the animal turned out to be allergic to it. What can replace the drug?

If pets are sick, you want not only to help them, but also not to harm them, therefore, preference is given to natural preparations. For example, in the fight against viruses, Fosprenil has proven itself well. It promotes faster recovery, and also improves immunity. There are also analogues of Fosprenil for animals, with a different composition, but also natural. They are used if an allergy has occurred to the immunomodulator or if it is not available.

What is Fosprenil

The active ingredient of the drug is the disodium salt of polyprenol phosphate. It is obtained from pine needles, which determines the natural origin of the medicine. It is produced in vials with a capacity of 10 ml, inside which there is a clear liquid (it may have a slight yellow tint). The product comes to veterinary pharmacies in packs of 5 bottles. If necessary, they can be purchased individually.

It is necessary to store the medicine in a cool place (in the summer it is better in the refrigerator), no more than 1 year from the date of release.

When and how Fosprenil is used

The veterinary agent can be used both for the prevention and for the treatment of viral infections of domestic animals, in particular cats, rabbits and even birds... It relieves inflammation, accelerates recovery. In addition, Fosprenil enhances immunity and protects tailed pets in contact with sick individuals.

Fosprenil can be used to prevent and treat:

Basically Fosprenil is used for intramuscular injections (0.2 mg per 1 kg weight). Instillation in the eyes and sometimes oral use are also allowed. The course of treatment is 7 days (in especially severe cases, it can be extended up to 2 weeks).
