​Cat FIP Injection GS-441524 20mg/mL CAS 1191237-69-0

If a cat’s immune system is healthy and mature, the white blood cells should fight off an infection or virus, and allow the cat to build up an immune response, or antibodies. Cats who develop FIP have an immune defect or deficiency that causes the white blood cells to replicate, rather than fight, the virus. Essentially, the cats immune system is spreading the virus throughout the cat’s body rather than trying to eliminate it. Cats who have no immune response develop wet FIP, while cats who have a partial immune response develop dry FIP.

The nucleoside analog GS441524 is a molecular precursor to a pharmacologically active nucleoside triphosphate molecule. These analogs act as an alternative substrate and RNA-chain terminator of viral RNA dependent RNA polymerase. In layman’s terms, GS441524 interjects itself into the chain reaction and stops the replication of the virus.  

What is FIP?

Neurogenic Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) is a serious disease in cats caused by mutations in the common feline intestinal (gut) coronavirus (FeCoV). The mutation allows the otherwise trivial virus to enter intestinal macrophages (a type of immune system cell) and hitch a ride to other parts of the body, infecting the abdominal cavity, chest cavity, eyes and certain parts of the gastrointestinal tract to escape the lining of the gastrointestinal tract. Example, the brain. Normally, the feline immune system prevents clinical FIP, but in some cats infected with intestinal FeCoV, the immune system is unable to eliminate the infection and the development of clinical FIP can have devastating consequences.

Over 30% of pet cats and over 80% of breeding cats have been exposed to FeCoV (the relatively harmless intestinal form).

While the relatively harmless enteric coronavirus (FeCoV) is highly transmissible among cats, the mutated form of FIP itself does not infect other cats, and feline coronaviruses are different from the human coronaviruses that cause COVID-19.

Storage

Store at room temperature or Store at 2~4 ° C (Better). Avoid light. Shelf life is one year.

Do not place in a sub-zero environment. Because this will result in the precipitation of active ingredients and the appearance of crystals, thus affecting the concentration and therapeutic effect.

Precautions for injection

(1) Injection method.

Subcutaneous injection, 0.3mm fine needle is recommended.

(2) Make sure your cat gets enough water.

It is very necessary for your cat to get enough water before and after the injection. If your cat is severely dehydrated, the medicine may not be fully absorbed. If you suspect that your cat may be dehydrated, ask your veterinarian for help on how to get enough fluids.

(3) Choose the right injection site.

Find a piece of loose skin. Generally speaking, the skin between the neck and back of a cat is the most loose skin.

(4) Inject medicine.

If you notice blood or medicine coming out of the injection site, use a clean cotton ball to gently press the injection site until the secretion stops.

This should only take a minute or so, but if your cat moves around too often, it may take longer.

(5) Correctly dispose of used needles.

Do not put uncovered needles in the trash can, as this may cause infection to people.
