GS-441524 is an antiviral agent and the main active metabolite of Remdesivir. It has shown remarkable effectiveness in combating various viral infections, particularly feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), a disease caused by feline coronavirus. GS-441524 has become widely recognized in veterinary medicine, especially for its success in treating FIP.
The compound acts by inhibiting the replication of viruses. It specifically targets the viral RNA polymerase, preventing the virus from replicating its genetic material, which helps slow or stop the progression of the infection.
GS-441524 is most renowned for its role in treating feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), a condition once considered incurable. Its availability in tablet form has provided a major breakthrough, leading to remission in numerous cases.

Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) is a serious and often fatal viral disease that primarily affects cats. It is caused by a mutated form of the feline coronavirus (FCoV). Here are some key points about FIP:
Types of FIP:
(1) Wet (Effusive) FIP: This form is characterized by the accumulation of fluid in the abdominal or thoracic cavities, leading to noticeable swelling or breathing difficulties.
(2) Dry (Non-Effusive) FIP: This form does not involve fluid accumulation but leads to the formation of granulomas (masses of inflammatory cells) in various organs, including the liver, kidneys, and brain.
Recommended dosage: 10mg/KG * body weight kg
Taking time: Both taken before and after meals is ok. It is recommended to take it at a fixed time every day.
Taking method: Take it directly. If the cat does not eat it, it can also be mixed in the feed.
Storage: Store at room temperature or Store at 2~4 ° C. Avoid light. Shelf life is one year.
Recommended treatment for 12 weeks.
