How is Pexion given?
Pexion is available as a white tablet. It should be given to your dog by mouth, twice a day. Your vet will advise you on how much Pexion to give to your dog. It is important that you always give the prescribed dose and follow the advice given by your vet. It is also likely that your vet may need to adjust your dog’s dose, and will therefore need to see your dog regularly. It is important that you follow the advice your vet gives you on how to give your dog Pexion, and at what dose.
How long does Pexion take to work?
Pexion starts to work within a few hours. However, it may take a little while before you notice an improvement in your dog’s seizure pattern because: The majority of dogs with primary epilepsy only experience a seizure every few weeks Your vet may take some time to find the right dose of Pexion for your dog to reduce the frequency of their seizures.
What if a dose of Pexion is missed?
Don’t worry, just give the next dose at the normal time. There is no need to increase the dose.
Does Pexion have any side effects?
Normally, dogs tolerate Pexion very well. Side effects, such as increased hunger, thirst or activity levels or any gastrointestinal upsets are generally mild. If any of these do occur, they usually go away over time. If you are concerned about your dog for any reason, please contact your vet for advice.
Will my dog still have seizures while they are taking Pexion?
It is very unusual for any dog with epilepsy to become completely seizure free even after they have begun receiving medication. Pexion, like all epilepsy medications, is licensed to reduce the number of seizures that your dog will have rather than eliminate them completely.
What will my dog's life be like on Pexion?
As dogs with primary epilepsy are healthy in all other respects there is no reason why your dog should not go on to live a full and happy life. Occasionally it may not be possible to control a dog’s seizures regardless of which medications they receive. Your vet will be able to provide information on what you can do if this is the case.
Pexion is a POM-V Medication (Prescription-only)

Epitaur 500 - Pot of 90 Capsules
Epitaur Capsules for Dogs are dietary supplement specifically designed to support dogs suffering from epilepsy and other neurological conditions. Epitaur contains a blend of essential nutrients that are often found to be deficient in pets with epilepsy, providing a holistic approach to managing epilepsy in Dogs.
Epitaur Capsules contain a balanced mix of L-Taurine, L-Tyrosine, B-vitamins, Zinc Gluconate, Magnesium Stearate, and Dicalcium Phosphate. L-Taurine, in particular, offers neuroprotective properties and aiding in the overall brain function of dogs. It is especially beneficial in cases of epilepsy, helping to mitigate seizures and improve the quality of life for affected pets.
L-Taurine is an amino acid that is critical for the proper functioning of the central nervous system. For dogs with epilepsy, Taurine acts as a stabilising agent, helping to reduce the frequency and severity of seizures. Additionally, its antioxidant properties protect brain cells from damage and support healthy brain activity.

Epitaur Capsules Large Breed - Pack of 180
Epitaur Large Breed is specifically formulated to provide optimum levels of specific deficient nutrients that are normally associated in epilepsy. High conscentrations of taurine are found in the central nervous system, taurine is an essential building block for all other amino acids.
Taurine has a protective effect on the brain, particulary if the brain is dehydrated. In the nutritional world taurine is used in cases of anxiety, epilepsy, hyperactivity, poor brain function and most importantly seizures - Pack of 180 Capsules
Pexion 400mg Tablet - per Tablet
400mg Pexion is a prescription medication used to manage epilepsy in dogs. Each tablet contains 400mg of imepitoin, an antiepileptic drug that helps reduce the frequency and severity of seizures.
Pexion is primarily used to treat idiopathic epilepsy, a common neurological disorder in dogs. It may also be prescribed for dogs suffering from noise phobia, as it has calming effects on the nervous system. Unlike some traditional epilepsy medications, Pexion has a lower risk of liver toxicity and can be a suitable long-term treatment option for many dogs.
How Pexion Works
Pexion 400mg contains imepitoin, a drug that acts on the brain’s neurotransmitters to stabilise electrical activity and prevent seizures.
Seizures occur due to abnormal electrical signals in the brain, causing sudden and uncontrolled movements, loss of consciousness, or behavioural changes. Imepitoin works by enhancing the effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter that reduces excessive brain activity. By increasing GABA’s calming effects, Pexion helps to suppress abnormal electrical impulses and prevent seizure episodes.
Pexion also has anti-anxiety properties, which make it beneficial for dogs with noise-related anxiety, such as fear of fireworks or thunderstorms.

Epilease Capsules 250mg - Pack of 60
250mg Epilease capsules are designed to help control seizures in dogs diagnosed with epilepsy. The capsules contain potassium bromide, an active ingredient that stabilises electrical activity in the brain and reduces seizure frequency. Epilepsy is a neurological condition that causes recurring seizures, which can vary in severity and duration.
Seizures occur when abnormal electrical impulses in the brain trigger involuntary movements, loss of consciousness, or behavioural changes. Epilease helps to regulate these electrical signals, reducing the likelihood of sudden seizures and providing long-term management of the condition.
Dogs with epilepsy require consistent medication to maintain stable brain function and prevent seizure episodes. Regular veterinary supervision and monitoring are essential to ensuring the effectiveness of treatment and adjusting dosage if necessary.
How 250mg Epilease Capsules Work
Epilease contains potassium bromide, which works by altering the way nerve cells in the brain transmit signals. Potassium bromide affects chloride channels in neurons, making them less excitable and reducing the risk of spontaneous electrical activity that leads to seizures. This stabilising effect helps to control epilepsy and prevent unpredictable episodes.
Potassium bromide is often used in cases where standard anti-seizure medications, such as phenobarbital, are not effective or cause side effects. It can be used as a primary treatment or in combination with other medications to improve seizure control.
As a long-term treatment, Epilease gradually builds up in the dog's system, requiring consistent daily administration. It may take several weeks before full effects are observed, and close monitoring is necessary to adjust dosage based on the dog’s response.
