VetiVex Product Range

Q4: What is the difference between Lactated Ringer's and pHyLyte?

Ans: Lactated Ringer's is a nonpyrogenic solution that supplies water and electrolytes and may also be used as an alkalinizing agent. pHyLyte is a multiple electrolytes injection with a pH of 7.4 and contains no antimicrobial agents or preservatives. The choice depends on the patient's fluid and electrolyte requirements.

Ans: Depending on the formulation, VetiVex fluids are labeled for dogs, cats, and horses. The appropriate VetiVex product and dosage are selected by a veterinarian based on the animal's species, condition, and specific treatment needs.

Q7: Is VetiVex safe?

Ans: VetiVex is manufactured as a sterile, nonpyrogenic solution under FDA-regulated pharmaceutical standards, but like all prescription IV fluids, it must be administered by a veterinarian who accounts for the animal's condition and any contraindications. Some formulations may not be suitable for pets with certain health conditions, including heart or kidney disease.

Q8: Can I order VetiVex online without going to a vet clinic?

Ans: You can order VetiVex through HardyPaw's licensed pharmacy, but your veterinarian must provide a valid prescription before the order can be filled. This allows the treatment to follow your veterinarian's diagnosis and care plan while you order online.
