Maropitine™ Injection is a highly effective veterinary antiemetic formulated with Maropitant (as Maropitant Citrate 10 mg/ml), designed to prevent and treat vomiting and nausea in dogs and cats.
Maropitant works by blocking NK-1 receptors (Substance P inhibitors) in both the brain and gastrointestinal tract, providing powerful and targeted control of vomiting from multiple causes, including motion sickness, chemotherapy, surgery, and systemic illnesses.
This injectable formulation offers a rapid onset of action and is suitable for both subcutaneous (S.C.) and intravenous (I.V.) administration, making it ideal for clinical and emergency settings. It is especially useful in managing post-operative nausea, improving recovery after anaesthesia, and supporting pets with chronic conditions such as kidney disease.
Maropitine comes in a 20 ml multi-dose vial, providing convenience and cost-effectiveness for veterinary practices.
