Vitamin K1 Injection for Pets, 100-ml (10mg/ml)

Vitamin K1 Injection for Blood Clotting Disorders in Pets

Product Description

Vitamin K1 Injection (phytonadione) is a prescription-only, sterile aqueous colloidal solution that helps bring blood clotting back to normal in dogs, cats, and other animals. It works by supporting the liver in producing active prothrombin, a protein the body needs for proper coagulation. Used in emergency cases of anticoagulant rodenticide poisoning and liver-related clotting disorders, this injectable form delivers fast-acting support during critical situations where every hour matters.

Benefits

Q3: Is Vitamin K1 Injection safe for cats and dogs?

Ans: When used under proper veterinary guidance, this product is considered safe for both dogs and cats. The intravenous route carries serious risks and should only be used when other routes are genuinely not an option. Injection site reactions and allergic responses may still occur.

Q4: Do I need a prescription for Vitamin K1 Injection for my pet?

Ans: Yes, this is a prescription-only medication. Federal law restricts its use to the order of a licensed veterinarian. A valid veterinarian-client-patient relationship and an active prescription must both be in place before this product can be purchased or given.
