Itrafungol Dosage and administration
Itrafungol is administered orally directly into the mouth by means of the enclosed graduated dosing syringe. Dose 5 mg/kg bodyweight per day (or 0.5 ml/kg/day). Administration Pulse dosing schedule: Treat for 7 days and then stop treatment for 7 days. Repeat 3 times. Cats must be treated during weeks 1 3 and 5 and left untreated during weeks 2 and 4. 5 mg/kg per day for 3 alternating weeks PULSE 1 No Rx PULSE 2 No Rx PULSE 3 7 days treatment 7 days no treatment 7 days treatment 7 days no treatment 7 days treatment The dosing syringe provided shows graduations per 100 gram of body weight. Fill the syringe by pulling the plunger until it reaches the graduation corresponding the correct body weight of the cat. Treat the animal by slowly and gently injecting the liquid into the back of the mouth allowing the cat to swallow the product. When administering the product to kittens be careful not to administer more than the recommended dose/weight. For kittens weighing less than 0.5kg a 1 ml syringe which allows proper dosing should be used. After dosing the syringe should be removed from the bottle washed and dried and the cap should be screwed back on tightly. Data in humans shows that food intake may result in lower drug absorption. Therefore it is recommended to administer the product by preference between meals. In some cases a prolonged time between clinical and mycological cure may be observed. In cases where a positive culture is obtained 4 weeks after the end of administration the treatment should be repeated once at the same dosage regimen. In such cases where the cat is also immunosuppressed treatment should be repeated and the underlying disease addressed.
