Maropitant Citrate Tablets 24mg (4 Count)

 Maropitant Citrate 24mg Tablets for Dogs

Fast-Acting Antiemetic Relief 

Maropitant Citrate 24mg Tablets are a highly effective veterinary prescription medication designed to prevent and treat acute vomiting and motion sickness in dogs. The active ingredient, Maropitant Citrate, is a potent neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptor antagonist that works directly on the brain's vomiting center (area postrema) by inhibiting the binding of substance P, a key neurotransmitter involved in the emetic (vomiting) reflex.

This makes Maropitant Citrate a preferred antiemetic treatment for dogs undergoing chemotherapy, experiencing gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, or suffering from travel-induced nausea.

Prescription items are NON-RETURNABLE and NON-REFUNDABLE.
