Prescription Only Drugs

8mg Reconcile for Dogs is a prescription medication that contains fluoxetine. Reconcile 8mg is available as chewable tablets and it's indicated as an aid in the treatment of separation-related disorders in dogs manifested by destruction and inappropriate behaviours (vocalisation and inappropriate defaecation and/or urination).

Reconcile is a prescription-only medication for dogs suffering from separation anxiety. The 8mg dose is typically prescribed for small to medium-sized dogs, depending on the animal's weight and condition. Reconcile is designed to be used in combination with a structured behaviour modification programme, under the guidance of a veterinary professional.

Reconcile contains fluoxetine hydrochloride, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). This active ingredient works by increasing the amount of serotonin available in the brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood, anxiety, and behaviour. In dogs with separation anxiety, serotonin levels may be imbalanced, which can contribute to distress when left alone. By restoring this balance, Reconcile can help reduce anxious behaviours over time.

Separation anxiety is a common behavioural issue in dogs. It occurs when a dog becomes distressed or exhibits undesirable behaviours when separated from their owner or primary caregiver. Common signs include excessive barking or howling, destructive chewing, attempts to escape, urinating or defecating indoors, and pacing. These behaviours often begin shortly after the owner leaves and can be distressing for both the dog and the household.

The 8mg strength of Reconcile is usually prescribed for dogs weighing between 8.1kg and 16kg. Dosage is typically given once daily, and it is important that the medication is administered at the same time each day to maintain a consistent effect. Tablets are flavoured to aid compliance and are often well-accepted by dogs when offered with food or as a treat.

Mirataz for Cats – Appetite Stimulant for Managing Weight Loss

Mirataz (mirtazapine transdermal ointment) is a prescription medication formulated to manage weight loss in cats suffering from various underlying health conditions. It is the first and only FDA-approved transdermal medication designed specifically for feline weight management. By stimulating appetite and increasing food intake, Mirataz helps cats regain and maintain their body weight without the need for oral administration.

Feline weight loss can be a symptom of serious medical conditions, including hyperthyroidism, chronic kidney disease, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), neoplasia, pancreatitis, and liver failure. Cats experiencing these conditions often suffer from reduced appetite, which leads to malnutrition, muscle wasting, and further health complications. Mirataz provides an effective and well-tolerated solution for encouraging weight gain in affected cats.

How Mirataz Works

Mirataz contains the active ingredient mirtazapine, an antidepressant with appetite-stimulating properties. In cats, mirtazapine acts as a serotonin and histamine receptor antagonist, which helps to increase appetite, reduce nausea, and improve food consumption.

Unlike traditional oral medications, Mirataz is formulated as a transdermal ointment. It is applied directly to the inner pinna (ear flap) of the cat’s ear, allowing the medication to be absorbed through the skin. This method of administration eliminates the stress associated with giving pills or liquids, making it easier for both cats and their owners to manage treatment.

VETERINARY PRESCRIPTION REQUIRED

Betafuse Gel for Dogs

Betafuse Gel for Dogs is a prescription-only topical treatment used to manage certain bacterial skin infections in dogs, particularly when these are associated with dermatitis and intertrigo. It is designed for local application to affected areas of skin, where it helps reduce infection, inflammation, redness, and discomfort.

Betafuse Gel contains two active ingredients. The first is an antibiotic, which targets susceptible bacteria on the skin surface. The second is a corticosteroid, which reduces inflammation. Used together under veterinary direction, these components provide both antimicrobial action and anti-inflammatory relief in one preparation.

How Betafuse Gel works

The antibiotic component in Betafuse Gel acts on bacteria commonly involved in canine skin infections. It works by interfering with essential bacterial processes, helping to reduce the number of bacteria at the site of infection. This is important in areas where the skin barrier has been compromised by scratching, moisture, or friction.

The corticosteroid component is an anti-inflammatory medicine. In inflamed skin it helps to:

• Reduce redness and swelling
• Decrease itching and irritation
• Limit further self-trauma from scratching, licking, or biting

By combining these actions, Betafuse Gel supports the skin while it heals. The gel formulation allows a thin, even layer to be applied directly where it is needed, which is particularly useful in folds of skin or small, localised lesions.

Betafuse Gel should only be used as directed by a veterinary surgeon. The vet will determine whether the dog’s skin problem is suitable for topical treatment and will advise how much and how often the gel should be applied.

VETERINARY PRESCRIPTION REQUIRED

Solensia is a prescription medication used to manage osteoarthritis pain in cats. It contains frunevetmab, a monoclonal antibody designed to target and block nerve growth factor (NGF), a key driver of osteoarthritic pain. Solensia is administered as a monthly injection by a veterinarian to provide long-term relief from joint pain and discomfort.

Solensia is a refrigerated medication - We will send it via Royal Mail Special Delivery using insulated packaging and ice packs. A signature is required on delivery and it must be put straight into a fridge. We cannot guarantee same day dispatch for orders placed after 12pm. VETERINARY PRESCRIPTION REQUIRED.

Osteoarthritis is a common but often undiagnosed condition in older cats. Solensia helps improve mobility, reduce pain, and enhance a cat’s overall quality of life. Unlike traditional pain medications, Solensia is specifically designed for long-term use with minimal side effects.

How Solensia Works

Solensia contains frunevetmab, a monoclonal antibody that targets NGF, a protein involved in pain signalling. In cats with osteoarthritis, NGF levels are elevated, leading to increased pain sensitivity and joint discomfort.

By binding to NGF, Solensia prevents it from interacting with pain receptors in the nervous system. This reduces pain transmission and helps control the chronic discomfort associated with osteoarthritis. Since monoclonal antibodies function like natural proteins, they are gradually broken down by the body without placing strain on the liver or kidneys.

Solensia provides continuous pain relief for up to one month, making it a convenient option for cats who struggle with daily oral medications.
