  • Secondary Ingredients: Palatable flavoring agents, stabilizers, and binders that ensure tablet effectiveness and taste.

How Does It Work?

Bexagliflozin, the active ingredient in Bexacat, is a selective SGLT2 inhibitor. It works by blocking glucose re-absorption in the kidneys, leading to its excretion through urine. 

This process effectively lowers blood glucose levels, helping to maintain consistent and safe glucose control in cats with Type 2 diabetes. Bexacat is designed to ensure effective diabetes management without the complications often associated with insulin.

Dosage and Administration

Use as directed by your veterinarian. 

Frequency

Administer one 15mg tablet of Bexacat daily. 

Give at the same time each day to maintain consistent blood glucose levels.

Consistency

Ensure the tablet is given daily without missing doses to prevent fluctuations in blood sugar levels. Regularity is key to effective diabetes management.

Side Effects of Bexacat (Bexagliflozin) 

Common Side Effects:

  • Increased Thirst (Polydipsia): Your cat may drink more water than usual due to increased glucose excretion.
  • Increased Urination (Polyuria): The medication causes more glucose to be excreted in the urine, leading to more frequent urination.
  • Mild Gastrointestinal Issues: Some cats may experience nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea as their body adjusts to the medication.
  • Lethargy: Some cats might appear more tired or less active than usual.

Less Common but Serious Side Effects:

  • Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): The increased glucose in the urine can create an environment where bacteria thrive, leading to UTIs.
  • Dehydration: Due to increased urination, there is a risk of dehydration if your cat does not consume enough water.
  • Electrolyte Imbalances: Changes in fluid balance can lead to imbalances in electrolytes, potentially causing health issues.
  • Hypoglycemia: While less common, there is a risk of low blood sugar, especially if combined with other diabetes medications.
  • Vomiting and Severe Gastrointestinal Upset: In rare cases, cats might experience more severe vomiting and diarrhea, which could require veterinary attention.

Rare Side Effects:

  • Liver Dysfunction: Although extremely rare, some cats might show signs of liver dysfunction, such as jaundice or elevated liver enzymes.
  • Severe Allergic Reactions: Signs may include swelling, hives, difficulty breathing, or anaphylaxis, though these reactions are rare.

It is important to contact your veterinarian immediately for advice and potential adjustment of the treatment plan if you notice any of these side effects, particularly the serious or rare ones.

Precautions

Ensure your cat is thoroughly examined by a veterinarian before starting Bexacat.

This medication is not suitable for cats with Type 1 diabetes, ketoacidosis, or severe kidney disease. Monitor your cat for signs of urinary tract infections, as Bexagliflozin increases glucose in the urine, which can promote bacterial growth.

Warnings

Not for Type 1 Diabetes: Bexacat is not suitable for cats diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis, as it is designed specifically for managing Type 2 diabetes.

Kidney Disease Caution: Cats with pre-existing kidney disease or impaired renal function should not use Bexacat, as the drug’s mechanism heavily involves the kidneys and may exacerbate kidney issues.

Risk of Hypoglycemia: Although Bexacat generally lowers the risk of hypoglycemia compared to insulin, combining it with other diabetes medications could increase this risk. Monitoring blood glucose levels regularly is crucial.

Dehydration and Electrolyte Imbalance: Increased urination can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances, which require monitoring, especially in older cats or those with other health conditions.

Potential for Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): The excretion of excess glucose through urine can create an environment conducive to bacterial growth, increasing the risk of UTIs. Watch for signs of discomfort or difficulty urinating.

Avoid in Pregnant or Nursing Cats: The safety of Bexacat in pregnant or nursing cats has not been established. Consult your veterinarian before use in breeding cats.

Monitor for Allergic Reactions: Rare allergic reactions may occur, including signs of swelling, hives, or breathing difficulties. Discontinue use immediately and seek veterinary care if such symptoms appear.

Interaction with Other Medications: Always inform your veterinarian about any other medications or supplements your cat is taking, as there could be interactions that affect the efficacy or safety of Bexacat.

Close Monitoring Required: Regular veterinary check-ups are essential to monitor your cat’s response to the treatment and adjust dosages if necessary.

Storage

Store Bexacat tablets at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep the bottle tightly closed and out of reach of children and pets.
