Maropitant 10mg/mL, 20mL Injection
SKU GME736Product Introduction
Maropitant 10mg/mL is a veterinary antiemetic used to control vomiting in dogs and cats. The injection is intended for veterinary treatment, not human use, and does not treat the underlying cause of vomiting by itself.
How to use
A veterinarian calculates the injection volume from body weight. For acute vomiting, dogs aged two to less than four months receive subcutaneous injection. Dogs at least four months old and cats at least four months old can receive subcutaneous or slow intravenous injection, with intravenous administration over one to two minutes. Do not use the oral motion-sickness schedule for this injection.
How it works
Maropitant blocks neurokinin-1 receptors and prevents substance P from activating the brain's vomiting pathways.
Side effects
Pain or vocalisation during injection can occur. Lethargy, reduced appetite and diarrhoea have been reported. Facial swelling, breathing difficulty or collapse requires emergency veterinary care.
Important information
Tell the veterinarian about liver disease, pregnancy or lactation, the animal's age and other medicines. Persistent vomiting, abdominal distension or suspected swallowed objects needs assessment for obstruction or another serious cause.
Uses
- Veterinary control of acute vomiting in dogs and vomiting in cats, within the locally approved species and age limits.
Benefits
Helps limit repeated vomiting and associated fluid loss while the veterinarian investigates and treats the underlying illness.
Is maropitant an antibiotic?
No. It blocks vomiting signals and does not eliminate a bacterial infection.
Does a 20mL vial represent one dose?
No. Vial volume is the amount supplied. An animal's dose is calculated separately from body weight and the prescribed regimen.
Do puppies and kittens have the same minimum age and injection route?
No. The injectable maropitant reference permits subcutaneous treatment in dogs from two months old, but intravenous treatment in dogs and either injection route in cats starts at four months. These age limits concern the injectable formulation, not maropitant tablets.
Is the injection automatically approved for travel sickness?
Not necessarily. Injectable and oral maropitant products have different labeled uses. Travel-sickness directions for tablets should not be assumed to apply to injection.
Does stopping the vomiting mean a swallowed object has passed?
No. Antiemetic treatment can suppress a symptom without removing an obstruction. Suspected foreign-body ingestion still needs urgent veterinary investigation.
What if vomiting continues after treatment?
The diagnosis and treatment plan need reassessment rather than repeated unsupervised injections. Dehydration or another underlying illness may need additional care.
Can it be given to a pregnant or nursing animal?
Safety data are limited for breeding, pregnant and lactating animals. The veterinarian must weigh the need for treatment against that uncertainty.
What should someone do after accidental self-injection?
Seek medical advice promptly and take the veterinary product label. Rinse accidental eye exposure with water and obtain advice if irritation persists.
