4.6/10
Weak evidence support
Evidence confidence: Low
Georgia: Yes, veterinary · № 61-11 · Verified on 22 Oct 2026
A weak option for cats: an old-style sugar and vitamin emulsion with little evidence of benefit and a dog-sized fixed dose that delivers a high vitamin D load to a small cat. Use measured fluids, dextrose or a specific vitamin when a need is shown.
Regulatory and scientific credibility5.5/10
The dog and cat product holds an Italian national authorisation listed in the EU database (UPD 600000097476), a real regulator record, but it is an older authorisation with no published efficacy data; Georgia lists it as 61-11 with no validity date.
Clinical efficacy3.5/10
Glucose gives short-lived energy and vitamins help only a true deficiency; no controlled study shows clinical benefit for the labelled supportive uses, and current fluid guidelines use measured fluids and dextrose instead.
Safety and tolerability4.5/10
The same fixed 10-15 ml dose as for dogs gives a 3-4 kg cat roughly 5,000-10,000 IU/kg of vitamin D3 and a large glucose load in one injection; the label excludes hyperglycaemia and the first third of pregnancy and warns of vitamin excess.
Clinical practicality5.0/10
10-15 ml is a large single volume for a cat by any route, the IV injection must be slow, and the emulsion must not be mixed with other drugs.
Full-course cost-effectiveness-
No verified current Georgian price or patient-adjusted course cost was found; foreign prices were not substituted.
Important safety and use flags
- Do not use with hyperglycaemia, including diabetes, or hypersensitivity to an ingredient; avoid in the first third of pregnancy because vitamin A can be teratogenic.
- Each dose contains 20,000-30,000 IU of vitamin D3, a high load for a cat; use the lower 10 ml dose, do not repeat routinely, and check calcium if repeated.
- Check blood glucose in sick or stressed cats before giving 500-750 mg of glucose plus sorbitol.
- Inject IV slowly; do not mix with other medicines because compatibility has not been studied.
- Use within 28 days of opening; protect from light and heat.
