Senvelgo for Cats with Diabetes - 12ml
Senvelgo 12ml Oral Solution for Cats is a prescription medication used for the treatment of diabetes mellitus in cats. It is a once-daily liquid formula that helps regulate blood glucose levels without the need for insulin injections.
Senvelgo is suitable for cats diagnosed with stable diabetes and is administered orally using the syringe provided. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder commonly seen in older or overweight cats. It occurs when the body is either unable to produce enough insulin or cannot effectively use the insulin it does produce. Insulin is a hormone necessary for the body to regulate blood sugar (glucose) levels. Without sufficient insulin action, glucose cannot enter the cells properly and begins to accumulate in the bloodstream. This leads to a variety of health issues if not managed appropriately.
Senvelgo contains the active ingredient velagliflozin, a selective sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. It works by increasing the amount of glucose excreted in the urine, thereby lowering blood sugar levels. By helping to reduce hyperglycaemia without directly increasing insulin levels, Senvelgo provides an alternative approach to diabetes management in cats.
Senvelgo is not a form of insulin and does not replace insulin in all cases. It is designed for use in cats who are able to maintain stable blood sugar levels without insulin or as advised by a veterinary professional. Its once-daily oral administration makes it a convenient option for pet owners who may find injections challenging or stressful for their cat.
Each 12ml bottle of Senvelgo is supplied with a dosing syringe that allows for accurate administration. The dosage is determined by a veterinarian based on your cat’s weight and specific condition. It is important to follow the dosing instructions carefully to ensure effective management of the disease. Senvelgo should be given directly into the cat’s mouth and not mixed with food or water.
