Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What are ComforTrate Tablets used for in dogs?

Ans: ComforTrate Tablets are prescribed to help prevent vomiting in dogs. They are indicated for preventing acute vomiting and vomiting caused by motion sickness. The tablets contain maropitant citrate, which works in the brain to block signals that trigger the vomiting reflex.

Q2: How do ComforTrate Tablets work to stop vomiting?

Ans: ComforTrate Tablets contain maropitant citrate, a neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptor blocker that works by preventing substance P from acting within the central nervous system. By inhibiting this neurotransmitter involved in the vomiting reflex, the medication helps prevent vomiting from both central and peripheral causes.

Q3: When should ComforTrate Tablets be given for motion sickness in dogs?

Ans: For motion sickness prevention, ComforTrate Tablets should be administered at least two hours before travel. Giving the tablet with a small amount of food may help reduce vomiting associated with dosing on an empty stomach, but a full meal should be avoided before travel.

Q4: Can ComforTrate Tablets be given to puppies?

Ans: ComforTrate Tablets may be used for the prevention of acute vomiting in dogs starting at two months of age. However, caution is advised in puppies younger than eleven weeks, as safety studies reported a higher frequency of bone marrow changes in this age group. Always consult your veterinarian before use in young puppies.

Q5: Do ComforTrate Tablets require a veterinarian’s prescription?

Ans: Yes, ComforTrate Tablets are a prescription medication. Federal law allows this medication to be used only under the direction of a licensed veterinarian. Pet owners should only administer the medication under veterinary guidance and according to the recommended dosage instructions.
