PRESCRIPTION NEEDED (Pom-V)

What Pexion Tablets Are

Pexion Tablets for Dogs contain the active ingredient imepitoin, and are licensed for use in dogs with idiopathic epilepsy and for the reduction of seizure frequency. The tablets are available in two strengths: 100 mg and 400 mg, enabling dose tailoring to your dog’s weight and condition.

When Vets Prescribe Pexion

Veterinarians prescribe Pexion when dogs have been diagnosed with idiopathic (primary) epilepsy, after alternative treatments have been evaluated. The drug is also indicated for dogs suffering from noise-phobia seizures (for example, fireworks) when epilepsy is ruled out. Use is under strict veterinary supervision.

How Pexion Works

Imepitoin acts as a GABA-modulator in the canine brain to stabilise neuronal activity and reduce the likelihood of seizure onset. It has demonstrated efficacy in clinical studies, showing a reduction in monthly seizure frequency and improved quality of life.

Available Strengths & Tablet Details

• Pexion 100 mg tablets: suitable for smaller dogs or initial dosing.

• Pexion 400 mg tablets: for larger dogs or when higher maintenance doses are required.
  Tablets are marked and scored appropriately to assist in correct dosing and may be given with or without food as advised by your vet.

Dosage & Administration

Your veterinary surgeon will determine the correct dose based on your dog’s weight, seizure frequency and overall health. Treatment typically involves an initial starting dose followed by maintenance dosing once stability is achieved. Regular monitoring and follow-up are essential to ensure optimal control and minimise side effects.

Precautions, Contra-indications & Monitoring

Pexion must not be used in dogs with known hypersensitivity to imepitoin. Use is contraindicated in dogs under one year of age. Dogs with serious hepatic impairment or concurrent anticonvulsant therapies require careful monitoring. Common side-effects may include increased thirst, somnolence or slight ataxia initially; contact your vet if symptoms persist or worsen.

Storage & Handling

Store the tablets in the original packaging below 25 °C and protect from moisture. Keep out of reach of children and other animals. Handle with care and follow your vet’s advice for safe storage and administration.
