Safety information

Known Contraindications

  • Warning
    Maropitant is metabolised in the liver and therefore should be used with caution in patients with hepatic disease. As maropitant is accumulated in the body during a 14 day treatment period due to metabolic saturation, careful monitoring of liver function and any adverse events should be implemented during long term treatment.
    Sources: VMD SPC · VMD
  • Warning
    The veterinary medicinal product should be used with caution in animals suffering from or with predisposition for cardiac diseases as maropitant has affinity to Ca- and K-ion channels.
    Sources: VMD SPC · VMD
  • Warning
    Vomiting can be associated with serious, severely debilitating conditions including gastrointestinal obstructions; therefore, appropriate diagnostic evaluations should be employed.
    Sources: VMD SPC · VMD
  • Warning
    Use only according to the benefit-risk assessment by the responsible veterinarian, because conclusive reproductive toxicity studies have not been conducted in any animal species.

Assessed clinical scopeDog · Labelled prevention and treatment of nausea and vomiting in dogs, excluding motion sickness, with diagnosis and supportive care as indicated · SC,IV
Care settingVeterinary clinic or hospital, including perioperative and supportive-care use
vetman score 8.4/10 Very good
Evidence confidence: Medium Georgia: Yes, veterinary · № 251-11 · Verified on 18 Oct 2026

A strong standard injectable antiemetic for dogs with excellent regulatory transparency; diagnostic work-up and treatment of the cause remain indispensable.

Regulatory and scientific credibility9.0/10

The exact 10 mg/ml dog-and-cat injection has a current transparent EU centrally authorised SPC and active Georgian veterinary registration (251-11).

Clinical efficacy8.5/10

Maropitant is a well-established NK1 antiemetic with labelled preventive and therapeutic roles across common veterinary nausea and vomiting contexts; it controls the symptom, not the underlying cause.

Safety and tolerability8.0/10

Usually well tolerated under labelled use, but injection pain, accumulation with repeated dosing and cautions in young, hepatic, cardiac, pregnant or lactating patients require selection and monitoring.

Clinical practicality8.0/10

Once-daily SC or IV dosing for up to five days is straightforward in clinic; IV must be a separate bolus and SC discomfort should be anticipated.

Full-course cost-effectiveness-

Price was not assessed and is excluded from the overall score.

Important safety and use flags

  • Do not use concurrently with calcium-channel antagonists according to the reviewed class label.
  • Use cautiously in hepatic or cardiac disease and in pregnancy or lactation; safety is not established below 8 weeks.
  • Vomiting can signal obstruction or other serious disease; suppressing it never replaces diagnostic evaluation and causal/supportive treatment.

Evidence confidence: Medium Georgia: Yes, veterinary · № 251-11 · Verified on 18 Oct 2026

A very good labelled injectable antiemetic for cats, with clear limits: it treats nausea and vomiting, not appetite loss or the underlying disease.

Regulatory and scientific credibility9.0/10

The exact 10 mg/ml dog-and-cat injection has a current transparent EU centrally authorised SPC and active Georgian veterinary registration (251-11).

Clinical efficacy8.0/10

Maropitant reliably reduces feline vomiting and nausea in labelled settings; in CKD it may reduce vomiting without improving appetite or weight, so it is not a substitute for appetite-directed therapy or causal treatment.

Safety and tolerability7.5/10

Labelled use is generally tolerable, but safety is not established below 16 weeks and hepatic, cardiac, reproductive and repeated-dose cautions are clinically relevant.

Clinical practicality7.5/10

Once-daily SC or IV clinic dosing is feasible, but feline restraint, SC pain and the five-day labelled limit can materially affect repeated treatment.

Full-course cost-effectiveness-

Price was not assessed and is excluded from the overall score.

Important safety and use flags

  • Do not use concurrently with calcium-channel antagonists according to the reviewed class label.
  • Use cautiously in hepatic or cardiac disease and in pregnancy or lactation; safety is not established below 16 weeks.
  • Vomiting can signal obstruction or serious disease; maropitant does not replace diagnosis, supportive care or appetite-directed treatment.

vetman score 8.0/10 Very good
Evidence confidence: Medium Georgia: Yes, veterinary · Verified on 22 Oct 2026

A strong, transparent generic maropitant injection with robust reference-product antiemetic evidence and a practical once-daily regimen. It controls vomiting, not its cause, and SC pain plus hepatic/cardiac/interaction limits still matter.

Regulatory and scientific credibility8.5/10

The exact transparent 10 ml dog/cat SC/IV product has a current multi-country EU generic authorisation explicitly linked to Cerenia, a current official product leaflet and Georgian registration. Exact-Bioveta independent outcome or pharmacovigilance data are limited, so reference-product transfer remains visible.

Clinical efficacy8.5/10

Large multicentre placebo-controlled and European comparative field trials show strong reduction of acute vomiting across diverse canine causes, while label and reference-product evidence support chemotherapy and perioperative roles. It remains symptomatic treatment, excludes injectable motion-sickness use and must not delay diagnosis or source control.

Safety and tolerability7.0/10

The therapeutic margin is generally good and most adverse effects are local/transient, but SC pain is very common. Hepatic accumulation, cardiac ion-channel caution, protein-binding interactions, age/reproductive uncertainty and rare anaphylactoid or neurologic reactions require selection and monitoring.

Clinical practicality8.0/10

Once-daily 0.1 ml/kg dosing, SC/IV choice, 24-hour effect and up-to-five-day course are highly workable in clinic. SC sting, exact undiluted IV bolus/no-mixing instruction, 20-puncture limit and 28-day vial life add manageable route and wastage checks.

Full-course cost-effectiveness-

Current Georgian full-course price and vial-wastage data were unavailable; price is excluded from the denominator.

Important safety and use flags

  • Antiemesis is symptomatic care. Vomiting can signal gastrointestinal obstruction, toxin exposure or severe systemic disease; complete appropriate diagnostics, hydration/diet support and cause-directed treatment.
  • The injectable label excludes motion-sickness vomiting. Do not transfer the higher-dose tablet motion-sickness regimen to this 10 mg/ml injection.
  • Give 1 mg/kg (0.1 ml/kg) SC or IV once daily for no more than five consecutive days. For prevention administer more than one hour before the trigger; do not redose early because effect is expected for about 24 hours.
  • SC injection pain is very common in dogs. Cooling may reduce the sting; use appropriate restraint and consider IV when access and clinical circumstances favour it.
  • For IV use, follow the exact Bioveta instruction: administer as a single undiluted bolus and do not mix with other fluids or veterinary medicines because compatibility has not been established.
  • Do not use with hypersensitivity to maropitant or any excipient. Safety is unestablished below 8 weeks in dogs, below 16 weeks in cats, and during pregnancy/lactation; use only after an explicit veterinarian benefit–risk assessment.
  • Use cautiously in hepatic disease and monitor liver function and adverse effects with repeated/prolonged exposure; nonlinear metabolism can produce accumulation. Do not extend beyond the labelled five consecutive days without a new evidence-based plan.
  • Use cautiously with cardiac disease or predisposition. Do not give with calcium-channel antagonists; maropitant is highly protein-bound and can compete with other highly bound medicines.
  • Stop and treat suspected anaphylactoid reaction. Rare lethargy, ataxia, convulsions/seizures or muscle tremor are reported; continued vomiting despite treatment warrants immediate diagnostic reassessment rather than automatic repeat dosing.
  • Use the vial for no more than 20 stopper punctures and discard 28 days after first opening. Avoid self-injection and skin/eye contact; accidental exposure can cause nausea, dizziness, somnolence or irritation and needs medical advice.

vetman score 7.6/10 Good
Evidence confidence: Medium Georgia: Yes, veterinary · Verified on 22 Oct 2026

A well-supported antiemetic with a transparent generic dossier and strong feline emesis prevention, but not guaranteed nausea relief. Frequent painful SC reactions make IV or careful pain-reduction planning important.

Regulatory and scientific credibility8.5/10

The exact transparent 10 ml dog/cat SC/IV product has a current multi-country EU generic authorisation explicitly linked to Cerenia, a current official product leaflet and Georgian registration. Exact-Bioveta independent outcome or pharmacovigilance data are limited, so reference-product transfer remains visible.

Clinical efficacy8.0/10

Reference-product field data and controlled feline PK/induced-emesis studies strongly support 1 mg/kg SC/IV antiemesis for about 24 hours. Vomiting reduction is consistent, but nausea behaviours may persist despite suppression of emesis and evidence across spontaneous causes is less extensive than in dogs.

Safety and tolerability6.5/10

Systemic tolerability is generally good, but moderate/severe SC injection reaction occurs in about one third of cats and adult-cat overdose evidence is absent. Hepatic/cardiac caution, age and reproductive limits, interactions and rare anaphylactoid or neurologic reactions remain clinically important.

Clinical practicality7.0/10

Once-daily weight-based dosing and an IV option are practical, but marked feline SC pain may require IV access or cooling/restraint and materially affects welfare. The undiluted bolus/no-mixing rule, small-volume accuracy, 20-puncture limit and 28-day vial life need active workflow control.

Full-course cost-effectiveness-

Current Georgian full-course price and vial-wastage data were unavailable; price is excluded from the denominator.

Important safety and use flags

  • Antiemesis is symptomatic care. Vomiting can signal gastrointestinal obstruction, toxin exposure or severe systemic disease; complete appropriate diagnostics, hydration/diet support and cause-directed treatment.
  • The injectable label excludes motion-sickness vomiting. Do not transfer the higher-dose tablet motion-sickness regimen to this 10 mg/ml injection.
  • Give 1 mg/kg (0.1 ml/kg) SC or IV once daily for no more than five consecutive days. For prevention administer more than one hour before the trigger; do not redose early because effect is expected for about 24 hours.
  • SC injection pain is very common and is moderate or severe in about one third of cats. Consider an appropriately cooled vial and low-stress restraint or use IV when clinically appropriate; do not dismiss the reaction as bad behaviour.
  • For IV use, follow the exact Bioveta instruction: administer as a single undiluted bolus and do not mix with other fluids or veterinary medicines because compatibility has not been established.
  • Do not use with hypersensitivity to maropitant or any excipient. Safety is unestablished below 8 weeks in dogs, below 16 weeks in cats, and during pregnancy/lactation; use only after an explicit veterinarian benefit–risk assessment.
  • Use cautiously in hepatic disease and monitor liver function and adverse effects with repeated/prolonged exposure; nonlinear metabolism can produce accumulation. Do not extend beyond the labelled five consecutive days without a new evidence-based plan.

vetman score 6.3/10 Situational / acceptable
Evidence confidence: Low Georgia: Yes, veterinary · № 000836 · Verified on 21 Oct 2026

A situational generic maropitant: the drug class is excellent, but this product's quality and equivalence to the EU reference are not independently shown. Use it where an EU-authorised maropitant is not available, and always look for the cause of vomiting.

Regulatory and scientific credibility5.0/10

The exact product is registered in Georgia (000836, valid to 2030) from a Russian state biofactory, and its dose and age limits match the EU-authorised maropitant reference (Cerenia), but no bioequivalence or product data are public and the catalogue source is the maker's home page.

Clinical efficacy6.5/10

Maropitant at 1 mg/kg is a well-proven NK1-receptor antiemetic in dogs, so the class evidence is strong; equivalence of this formulation to the reference is assumed, not shown.

Safety and tolerability7.0/10

Maropitant is well tolerated at label dose; the label advises caution in liver disease and heart failure and advises against use in pregnancy or lactation, and subcutaneous injection can sting.

Clinical practicality7.0/10

One daily injection of 0.1 ml/kg from a 10 ml vial suits clinic use well, but it stops vomiting without treating its cause.

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 in dogs under 8 weeks; avoid in pregnancy and lactation.
  • Use with caution in liver disease or heart failure; maropitant is cleared by the liver and has affinity for cardiac ion channels.
  • Stopping vomiting can hide obstruction, toxin ingestion or other serious disease; investigate before repeating doses.
  • Do not give for more than 5 consecutive days.
  • Subcutaneous injection may sting; inject steadily with gentle restraint.
