Setup, Compatibility & Care
Administration should occur approximately one hour before feeding for optimal absorption, as food can interfere with the bioavailability of the medication. Store the tablets in their original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and reach of children. Always ensure you have a clear plan from your veterinarian regarding how to monitor your dog's breathing rate at rest, as this is a key indicator of the medication's effectiveness. Do not split tablets unless explicitly instructed by your vet, and always use a pill cutter to ensure accuracy.
