What is Pexion?
Pexion is a medication used in veterinary medicine to treat dogs with epilepsy. It contains the active ingredient imepitoin, which helps to control seizures in dogs with epilepsy. Animals may need Pexion if they have been diagnosed with epilepsy and require medication to manage their condition and reduce the frequency and severity of seizures. It is important to follow your veterinarian's instructions when administering Pexion to your pet.
What problems could my pet have with Pexion?
While Pexion is generally well-tolerated by most dogs, some pets may experience side effects when taking this medication. Common side effects of Pexion may include drowsiness, lethargy, loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, and changes in behavior. In rare cases, more serious side effects such as liver problems or allergic reactions may occur. If your pet experiences any concerning symptoms while taking Pexion, it is important to contact your veterinarian immediately. They can provide guidance on how to manage any side effects or adjust the dosage if needed. It is crucial to follow your veterinarian's instructions closely and attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor your pet's response to the medication.
