How and when to use Ipakitine ?

Earliest stages of chronic renal failure: a preventative measure

Reducing plasma phosphorus blood concentration is now considered as the primary goal in CRF treatment. It should take place even before the reduction of protein intake.

Moderate chronic failure : a pragmatic alternative to a renal diet

Once azotaemia has been diagnosed, it is advised to lower the proteins intake in order to relieve clinical symptoms. Nevertheless, anorexia is a very common clinical symptom for CRF and the main one for cats. In many cases it is very difficult or even impossible to make the cat change its usual diet towards a less palatable renal diet.

In this case, Ipakitine represents a sensible and pragmatic approach that enables to keep close to the main objectives of the CRF treatment: increase survival time and improve health condition.

Ipakitine is palatable; therefore no change in the current diet is required.
Ipakitine reduces phosphataemia and uraemia.

Severe chronic renal failure a compulsory complement to a renal diet

Because at some point of the evolution of CRF, feeding with specific renal diet is not enough to limit phosphataemia to an acceptable level, phosphorus binders must be used.

Ipakitine is the only vet phosphorus binder and it offers in addition palatability, safety and beneficial action on uraemic toxins.

In combination, ACEis may be used in case of proteinuria.

Administration table
