A New Anticonvulsant - Pexion® (Imepitoin)
Pexion is a new anticonvulsant drug manufactured by Boehringer-Ingelheim (makers of Metacam) and launched at the beginning of April 2013. I have put some information together and will update it as I hear more but as always you should check with your vet.
Pexion is a prescription-only medication designed to reduce seizures.
The drug website only gives basic information whilst that provided by the European Medicines Agency is much more detailed and well worth reading but do keep an open mind – they have to include all possibilities. After a study of 226 dogs the efficacy of Pexion was very slightly less than phenobarbitone but with fewer side effects.
Please note that this article should be used for information only. As always, you should consult your vet for definitive information.
