Epiphen Dosage and administration
The required dosage of Epiphen will differ to some extent between individuals and with the nature and severity of the disorder. Dogs should be dosed orally starting with a dose of 2.5 mg per kg bodyweight per day. The dose should be divided and administered twice daily. Steady state serum concentrations are not reached until 1-2 weeks after treatment is initiated. The full effect of the medication does not appear for two weeks and doses should not be increased during this time. If seizures are not being controlled the dosage may be increased by 20% at a time with associated monitoring of serum Epiphen levels. The Epiphen serum concentration may be checked after steady state has been achieved and if it is less than 15 microgram/ml the dose may be adjusted accordingly. If seizures recur the dose may be raised up to a maximum concentration of 45 microgram/ml. High plasma concentrations may be associated with hepatotoxicity. Blood samples could be taken at the same time to allow plasma Epiphen concentrations to be determined preferably during trough levels shortly before the next dose of phenobarbital is due. Tablets are not intended to be subdivided. For accuracy of dosing dogs less than 12kg should commence therapy with Epiphen Solution. Epiphen tablets are not intended to be subdivided.

Epilease Capsules 250mg - Pack of 60
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that affects dogs, causing seizures that can range from mild to severe. The seizures are caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain, and they can be very distressing for both the dog and the owner. Fortunately, there are medications available that can help manage the seizures and improve the quality of life for the dog. One such medication is Epilease 250mg.
250mg Epilease is a type of anticonvulsant medication that works by blocking certain receptors in the brain that are responsible for the abnormal electrical activity. This helps to stabilize the electrical activity in the brain, which reduces the likelihood of seizures. Epilease is usually administered orally, and it is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by your veterinarian carefully.
Epilease Capsules for Dogs contain potassium bromide, an active ingredient known for its efficacy in controlling seizures. Potassium bromide works by stabilising electrical activity in the brain, thus reducing the likelihood of seizure occurrence.
