Description

This product requires a Prescription from your Vet.

Pexion 100mg and 400mg is an innovative anti-epileptic medication specifically formulated for dogs to manage and reduce the frequency of seizures associated with idiopathic epilepsy. It can also be used to treat anxiety disorders in dogs, particularly noise aversion. Pexion works by modulating neurotransmitter activity in the brain, helping to stabilise your dog’s mood and reduce the likelihood of seizures. Available in both 100mg and 400mg strengths, Pexion offers flexibility in dosing to ensure your dog receives the correct treatment tailored to their specific needs.

Available Variants

  • Pexion 100mg Tablets
  • Pexion 400mg Tablets

Both variants are supplied in boxes containing 100 tablets.

Active Ingredient
Each tablet of Pexion contains the following active ingredient:

  • Imepitoin

Imepitoin is a novel anti-epileptic drug that acts as a partial agonist at the benzodiazepine receptor, providing a calming effect without the significant sedative effects seen with some other anti-epileptic medications.

Typical Dosage
The dosage of Pexion should be determined by a veterinarian based on your dog’s weight, the severity of the condition, and specific treatment needs. Typically, the initial dose is 10mg to 30mg of Imepitoin per kg of body weight, administered twice daily. The exact dosage and duration should always be according to the vet's instructions.

Potential Side-Effects
Pexion is generally well-tolerated, but some dogs may experience side effects. These can include:

  • Mild gastrointestinal disturbances such as vomiting or diarrhoea
  • Increased appetite
  • Lethargy or restlessness
  • Ataxia (uncoordinated movements) in some cases

If any side effects are observed, or if your dog’s condition worsens, consult your veterinarian immediately.

Benefits
Pexion offers several key benefits:

  • Effective management of seizures in dogs with idiopathic epilepsy
  • Can also be used to manage anxiety, particularly noise aversion
  • Less sedative effect compared to other anti-epileptic medications
  • Available in two strengths for flexible and accurate dosing
