Therapeutic indication

Dogs

Reduction of mortality and clinical signs of parvovirosis (enteric form) in dogs from one month of age.

Cats

Treatment of cats infected with feline leukaemia virus (FeLV) and / or feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), in non-terminal clinical stages, from the age of nine weeks. In a field study conducted, it was observed that there was:

  • a reduction of clinical signs during the symptomatic phase (four months);
  • a reduction of mortality:
    • in anaemic cats, mortality rate of about 60% at four, six, nine and 12 months was reduced by approximately 30% following treatment with interferon;
    • in non-anaemic cats, mortality rate of 50% in cats infected by FeLV was reduced by 20% following treatment with interferon. In cats infected by FIV, mortality was low (5%) and was not influenced by the treatment.
