Thyforon 200 is a veterinary medication used to treat hypothyroidism in dogs. It contains levothyroxine sodium, a synthetic form of the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4), which is essential for regulating metabolism, energy levels, and overall health. Thyforon 200 is available in tablet form and is prescribed by veterinarians to manage thyroid hormone deficiencies in dogs.

Hypothyroidism is a common endocrine disorder in dogs, leading to symptoms such as weight gain, lethargy, hair loss, and skin problems. Thyforon 200 helps restore normal thyroid hormone levels, alleviating these symptoms and improving the dog’s quality of life.

How Thyforon 200 Works

Thyforon 200 contains levothyroxine sodium, a synthetic version of thyroxine (T4), which is the hormone naturally produced by the thyroid gland. In dogs with hypothyroidism, the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroxine, resulting in a slow metabolism and a range of health problems.

When administered as prescribed, Thyforon 200 supplements the missing thyroid hormone, restoring normal metabolic function. The body converts levothyroxine into triiodothyronine (T3), the active form of the hormone. This process helps regulate energy levels, body temperature, heart rate, and overall well-being.

2.5mg Fortekor Flavour is a veterinary medication formulated for the treatment of heart failure in dogs and chronic renal insufficiency in cats. The active ingredient in Fortekor, benazepril, is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor that plays a vital role in managing these health conditions. With its flavoured formulation, Fortekor makes it easier for pet owners to administer the medication to their pets, ensuring better compliance and more effective treatment outcomes.

Fortekor's primary action comes from its active ingredient, benazepril, which functions as an ACE inhibitor. In cases of heart failure in dogs, Fortekor helps improve blood flow by preventing the constriction of blood vessels, thus enhancing the heart's efficiency in pumping blood throughout the body. This ultimately results in a reduction of symptoms associated with heart failure, such as fatigue, shortness of breath, and fluid retention, improving the dog's overall quality of life.

VET PRESCRIPTION REQUIRED

5mg Fortekor Flavoured is a heart failure treatment for dogs. It contains the active ingredient benazepril hydrochloride.

Fortekor 5mg is given orally and is broken down into an efficient inhibitor of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), reducing blood volume, sodium and water levels, as well as making it harder for your dog's heart to pump effectively.

VET PRESCRIPTION REQUIRED

20mg Fortekor Flavour is used for the treatment of heart failure in dogs. The active ingredient is benazepril.

Fortekor 20mg binds to and inhibits angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), which reduces the conversion of inactive angiotensin I into angiotensin II.

5mg Felimazole is indicated for both the stabilisation of feline hyperthyroidism prior to surgical thyroidectomy and for the long-term treatment of feline hyperthyroidism.

Hyperthyroidism in cats is a prevalent condition, especially among older cats, characterised by an overactive thyroid gland. Hyperthyroidism can lead to health issues, including significant weight loss, increased appetite, hypertension, and a rapid heart rate. Without intervention, affected cats may experience deteriorated organ function, leading to a diminished quality of life.

Felimazole 5mg for Cats works by regulating the thyroid gland's hormone production. The active ingredient, Thiamazole, directly inhibits the synthesis of thyroid hormones, thus restoring hormonal balance. Felimazole is not a cure for hyperthyroidism but serves as a highly effective means of managing the condition, offering cats a chance at a healthier, more comfortable life.

60mg Epiphen is a prescription medication used to treat epilepsy in dogs. Each tablet contains 60mg of phenobarbital, a barbiturate that helps control seizures by stabilising electrical activity in the brain.

ORIGINAL VET PRESCRIPTION MUST BE POSTED TO US AS EPIPHEN IS A CONTROLLED DRUG

Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder in dogs that causes recurrent seizures. Epiphen is often prescribed as a long-term treatment to reduce the frequency and severity of seizures. It is widely used as a first-line antiepileptic drug and requires ongoing veterinary monitoring to ensure safe and effective management of the condition.

How Epiphen Works

Epiphen contains phenobarbital, a medication that works by depressing excessive brain activity to prevent seizures. Seizures occur when there is uncontrolled electrical activity in the brain, leading to sudden and unpredictable episodes of convulsions, twitching, or loss of consciousness.

Phenobarbital works by:

• Increasing the activity of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter that reduces nerve excitability.
• Decreasing nerve impulses that cause seizures.
• Stabilising brain activity to prevent sudden electrical surges.

Epiphen is absorbed into the bloodstream after administration and reaches therapeutic levels within a few hours. However, it may take several weeks for the full effects to be observed as the body adjusts to the medication.

30mg Epiphen Tablets are an antiepileptic for use in the control of epilepsy in dogs.

Administering Danilon for Horses as soon as laminitis symptoms are detected can significantly improve the horse's condition and prevent further damage. While the NSAID properties of Danilon Equidos Gold focus on pain relief and reducing inflammation, it is crucial to also address the underlying cause of laminitis. Consult with your Vet to determine the best course of action and ensure a comprehensive treatment plan is in place.
