How Ypozane 1.875mg Tablets Work

Ypozane 1.875mg Tablets work by inhibiting the effects of testosterone on the prostate gland. Testosterone is a hormone that can contribute to the enlargement of the prostate gland in male dogs. By blocking the action of testosterone, osaterone acetate helps to reduce the size of the prostate, thereby alleviating the symptoms associated with BPH.

Treatment with Ypozane involves a simple, once-daily dose for seven days. This regimen has been shown to significantly reduce prostate volume within a short period. Studies have demonstrated that a 40% reduction in prostate size can be achieved within 14 days, with the therapeutic effects lasting for up to six months. This makes Ypozane for Dogs an effective and convenient solution for managing benign prostatic hypertrophy.

5mg Vetoryl Capsules are used in the treatment of Cushing's syndrome in dogs. Vetoryl may be used for treatment of both pituitary-dependent and adrenal-dependent hyperadrenocorticism in dogs.

Vetoryl 5mg is a synthetic steroid that behaves like an agonist at the glucocorticoid receptor, but also has a partial dependency on the mineralocorticoid receptor. This allows Vetoryl to target both pituitary-dependent and adrenal-dependent hyperadrenocorticism in dogs.

Zycortal for Dogs is a veterinary prescription medicine used to treat Addison’s disease (hypoadrenocorticism) in dogs. This injectable suspension is designed to help maintain electrolyte balance and prevent the life-threatening symptoms associated with this condition. It contains desoxycortone pivalate (DOCP), a synthetic mineralocorticoid that supports adrenal function by regulating sodium, potassium, and water levels in the body.

Addison’s disease occurs when a dog’s adrenal glands do not produce enough corticosteroid hormones, which are essential for various physiological functions. Without proper treatment, affected dogs may experience lethargy, vomiting, diarrhoea, dehydration, and in severe cases, collapse. Zycortal is used in combination with glucocorticoid therapy to provide long-term management of the condition, helping to stabilise a dog’s health and improve their quality of life.

How Zycortal Works

Zycortal contains desoxycortone pivalate (DOCP), which mimics the action of natural mineralocorticoid hormones that are normally produced by the adrenal glands. These hormones play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of electrolytes and fluids in the body. When a dog has Addison’s disease, their body fails to produce sufficient levels of aldosterone, a hormone responsible for regulating sodium and potassium levels. This imbalance can lead to serious complications, including dehydration, low blood pressure, and shock.

Once administered by a veterinarian as a subcutaneous injection, Zycortal helps to normalise sodium and potassium levels, reducing the risk of dangerous fluctuations. The active ingredient works over an extended period, typically requiring re-administration every 25 to 30 days. Since Zycortal only replaces mineralocorticoid function, dogs undergoing treatment will also need additional glucocorticoid therapy, such as prednisolone, to replace the deficient cortisol levels.

50mg Vivitonin for Dogs is a prescription-only medication used to support cognitive function and overall vitality in ageing dogs. It contains the active substance propentofylline, which has a range of effects that can help improve circulation, oxygenation, and mental alertness in elderly canines.

Vivitonin is commonly prescribed by veterinary professionals to address signs of dullness, lethargy, and reduced activity levels associated with age-related changes. It is available in scored tablets, making it easier to administer the correct dosage according to the dog’s weight and veterinary guidance.

How Vivitonin Works

The active ingredient in 50mg Vivitonin is propentofylline, a substance known for its ability to improve blood flow and enhance oxygen delivery to tissues. It acts by dilating blood vessels and reducing the stickiness of red blood cells and platelets, which improves circulation, particularly in the brain, heart, and skeletal muscles.

In older dogs, reduced blood flow and oxygen supply can contribute to fatigue, slower movement, and reduced interest in surroundings. By promoting better perfusion, Vivitonin helps these dogs maintain energy, cognitive function, and general responsiveness.

Additionally, propentofylline has mild bronchodilatory effects, which can support respiratory function, and it may reduce free radical damage by improving antioxidant activity within the body. While not a cure for ageing, it can significantly improve the quality of life in senior dogs displaying signs of cognitive decline or disinterest.

Vidalta 15mg is a prescription-only veterinary medicine used to treat hyperthyroidism in cats. Each modified-release tablet contains 15 milligrams of the active substance carbimazole. The treatment is designed to control the overproduction of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland, helping to manage the symptoms of hyperthyroidism and improve your cat’s overall health and wellbeing.

What is Hyperthyroidism in Cats?

Hyperthyroidism is a common endocrine disorder affecting middle-aged and older cats. It occurs when the thyroid gland, located in the neck, becomes overactive and produces excessive amounts of thyroid hormones, particularly thyroxine (T4). These hormones regulate the body’s metabolism, so when their levels are too high, the cat’s metabolism speeds up significantly.

The condition is usually caused by a benign tumour on the thyroid gland, known as an adenoma. In rare cases, it can be caused by a malignant tumour. As the disease progresses, it places strain on the heart, liver, kidneys, and other vital organs. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial to managing the condition effectively.

VET PRESCRIPTION REQUIRED

Vidalta 10mg is a prescription medication used to manage hyperthyroidism in cats. It contains the active ingredient carbimazole, which helps regulate excessive thyroid hormone production. Vidalta is designed for long-term use and is available in a controlled-release tablet formulation.

What is Hyperthyroidism in Cats?

Hyperthyroidism is a common endocrine disorder in older cats. It occurs when the thyroid glands produce an excessive amount of thyroid hormones, particularly thyroxine (T4). These hormones regulate metabolism, and when levels become too high, a cat’s body functions accelerate beyond normal rates.

Hyperthyroidism affects multiple organs and systems. The increased metabolic rate can lead to significant weight loss, despite an increased appetite. Cats with this condition often experience behavioural changes, digestive issues, and heart problems if left untreated.

Signs of Hyperthyroidism in Cats

Cats with hyperthyroidism often display noticeable behavioural and physical changes. Common symptoms include:

• Weight loss despite an increased appetite
• Hyperactivity or restlessness
• Excessive thirst and urination
• Vomiting or diarrhoea
• Poor coat condition or hair loss
• Increased heart rate (tachycardia)
• Weakness or muscle wasting
• Changes in behaviour, including aggression or vocalisation

If hyperthyroidism is left untreated, it can lead to secondary complications, including high blood pressure (hypertension), heart disease, and kidney problems.
