Pexion Tablets for Dogs

What Pexion is used for

Pexion contains imepitoin and is licensed for two separate uses in dogs: reducing the frequency of generalised seizures in dogs with idiopathic epilepsy (after alternative treatments have been evaluated); and reducing anxiety and fear associated with noise phobia, such as fireworks. These are two distinct indications — noise phobia is an anxiety-related use, not a type of seizure.

Available strengths

100mg and 400mg tablets, dosed by your vet to your dog’s weight and condition.

How it’s given

Given orally, with or without food, exactly as your vet directs. Do not change the dose without veterinary advice.
