    Pexion Tablet for Dogs 

    Pexion is a treatment for dogs with primary epilepsy. It acts on a specific receptor in the brain cells to reduce the amount of excessive electrical activity present. In this way, like all epilepsy treatments, Pexion acts to reduce the number of seizures that your dog has and their impact on your dog's life.

    Pexion starts to work within a few hours.

    However, it may take a little while before you notice an improvement in your dog's seizure pattern because:

    • The majority of dogs with primary epilepsy only experience a seizure every few weeks
    • Your vet may take some time to find the right dose of Pexion for your dog to reduce the frequency of their seizures

    Pexion is available as a white tablet.

    It should be given to your dog by mouth, twice a day.

    Your vet will advise you on how much Pexion to give to your dog. It is important that you always give the prescribed dose and follow the advice given by your vet.

    It is also likely that your vet may need to adjust your dog's dose, and will therefore need to see your dog regularly.

    It is important that you follow the advice your vet gives you on how to give your dog Pexion, and at what dose.

    How frequently will my pet need to take Pexion?

    Pexion is given every 12 hours and tablets should be given at the same times every day. If a dose is delayed, give it as soon as possible and continue with the next tablet at the usual time.

    Pexion can be given with food. It can be given generally with other anti-epileptic medications but check with your veterinary clinician about this before proceeding.

    Dosage and administration
    Idiopathic Epilepsy
    Oral administration at a dose range of 10 mg to 30 mg imepitoin per kg bodyweight twice daily, approximately 12 hours apart. Each tablet can be halved for appropriate dosing according to the individual bodyweight of the dog. Any remaining half-tablet should be used for the next dose.
    The required dose will vary between dogs and will depend on the severity of the disorder. The recommended initial dose of imepitoin is 10 mg per kg bodyweight twice daily.
    Initiate therapy using the bodyweight in kg and the dosing table. If seizures are not adequately reduced following a minimum of 1 week of treatment at the current dose the supervising veterinary surgeon should re-assess the dog. Assuming that the veterinary medicinal product is well tolerated by the dog, the dose can be increased by 50 to 100% increments up to a maximum dosage of 30 mg per kg administered twice daily.
    Bioavailability is greater when administered to fasted dogs. The timing of tablet administration in relation to feeding should be kept consistent.
