Usage Assists in the replenishment of liver reserves of Vitamin B12 in dogs and cats. Characteristic When a deficiency in Vitamin B12 becomes typical (Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, Chronic enteropathy, Cholangitis...), administering this vitamin parenterally at a high dose once a week was the standard both in human and veterinary practice. However, it has been proven in recent years, in humans, that a high daily oral dose of Vitamin B12 can achieve the same results as a weekly parenteral administration, thanks to the passive diffusion process which accounts for 1% of the ingested Vitamin B12 - this passive diffusion allows for intake higher than the natural possibilities obtained with the intrinsic factor. The unassimilated Vitamin B12 (99%) is primarily expelled through urinary tract, imparting a red hue to the urine. Instructions for Use Oral administration. Daily dose during the initial period up to 10 kg a half tablet per day, from 10 to 20 kg one tablet per day, over 20 kg two tablets per day. The subsequent maintenance dose will be decided by your veterinarian based on the results obtained for cobalaminemia. The palatable tablets are generally taken spontaneously. If not, they can be incorporated into their meal, if necessary after crumbling. The very low levels of phosphorus, potassium and sodium are compatible with dietary regimes for subjects with heart or kidney failure. Contraindication Allergy to cyanocobalamin
