GS441524 capsules are an oral medication formulated for the treatment of Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP), a fatal disease caused by certain strains of the feline coronavirus. This drug works by inhibiting the replication of the virus, offering hope for cats diagnosed with both wet and dry forms of FIP.
The capsules are designed for easy administration, making them a convenient option for pet owners. They deliver a precise dosage of GS441524, the active ingredient, which targets the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, disrupting the virus's ability to reproduce.
GS441524 capsules are often used in 84-day treatment protocols and are recognized for their high bioavailability when administered orally. The effectiveness of the capsules has made them a popular choice among veterinarians and pet owners. However, the treatment should be supervised by veterinary professionals to ensure proper dosing and monitoring for potential side effects.
These capsules represent a breakthrough in FIP management, transforming what was once considered a uniformly fatal diagnosis into a treatable condition.

Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) is a fatal viral disease in cats caused by a mutation of the feline coronavirus (FCoV). While most cats infected with FCoV do not develop FIP, in some cases, the virus mutates and triggers an abnormal immune response, leading to FIP.
FCoV is common in multi-cat environments like shelters and catteries. The virus is primarily transmitted through fecal-oral contact, where cats ingest the virus from contaminated surfaces, litter boxes, or grooming each other.
Diagnosing FIP is challenging and often involves a combination of clinical signs, laboratory tests, and ruling out other diseases. Common diagnostic steps include:
1. Blood tests: Elevated protein levels, high white blood cell count, and low albumin-to-globulin ratio.
2. Imaging: Ultrasound or X-rays to detect fluid accumulation.
3. Fluid analysis: Testing the fluid from the abdomen or chest for elevated protein levels and specific cell types.
4. Biopsy: Histopathological examination of affected tissues can provide a definitive diagnosis.
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.
