Maropitant Citrate 60mg Tablets for Dogs (Zyvet)

Fast-Acting Anti-Nausea Relief

Maropitant Citrate 60mg Tablets are a veterinary-prescribed antiemetic medication used primarily to prevent and treat acute vomiting and nausea in dogs, whether caused by motion sickness, chemotherapy, gastritis, or post-operative effects. The active ingredient, maropitant citrate, is a neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptor antagonist that works by blocking substance P, a key neurotransmitter involved in vomiting reflexes in the central nervous system (CNS).

At HardyPaw, we supply vet-approved Maropitant Citrate in a potent 60mg tablet form, making it ideal for medium to large breed dogs requiring consistent antiemetic support during travel, illness, or recovery.

Prescription items are NON-RETURNABLE and NON-REFUNDABLE.

NOTE: For generic medications, the product image shown may not reflect the actual item received. Generic medications can vary in size, color, and shape between orders depending on the manufacturer. Additionally, your medication may arrive packaged in a HardyPaw Pharmacy vial.

What Are the Benefits of Maropitant Citrate 60mg Tablets for Dogs?

Maropitant Citrate stands out from traditional anti-nausea drugs due to its targeted action in the brain’s vomiting center. Key benefits include:

• Fast-acting relief from vomiting caused by motion, illness, or medications.
• Prevents nausea from chemotherapy or post-operative recovery.
• Once-daily dosing with long-lasting 24-hour effect.
• Improves appetite and hydration by reducing vomiting episodes.
• Well-tolerated with minimal sedative effects, unlike older antihistamines or phenothiazines.

How to Administer Maropitant Citrate 60mg? [Dosage and Administration]

Always consult your veterinary for exact dosage instructions depending on your pet's condition.

Typical dosage guidelines for dogs:

• For motion sickness: Administer at least 2 hours before travel, on an empty stomach.
• For acute vomiting: Use as directed by your vet, often for up to 5 consecutive days.

Are There Any Side Effects of Maropitant Citrate in Dogs?

While Maropitant Citrate is generally well-tolerated, some dogs may experience:

• Mild lethargy or drowsiness
• Hypersalivation (excess drooling)
• Loss of appetite (rare)
• Injection site reactions (if injectable form is used)

Severe reactions are rare, but if your dog exhibits signs of allergic reaction (e.g., facial swelling, hives, difficulty breathing), contact your vet immediately.

What Precautions and Warnings Should Pet Owners Be Aware Of?
