Description
Petzipine 15 mg tablet (typically prescribed for dogs and cats) contains Mirtazapine as its active ingredient. It is primarily prescribed by veterinarians as a potent appetite stimulant and anti-nausea medication for pets suffering from chronic kidney disease, liver disease, cancer, or post-surgery recovery.
Ingredients
- Active Ingredient: Mirtazapine (15 mg per tablet)
- Category: Veterinary antidepressant and tetracyclic compound
Primary Uses
- Appetite Stimulation: Helps induce eating in pets experiencing inappetence or starvation due to underlying chronic diseases or stress.
- Antiemetic: Prevents and treats nausea and vomiting associated with metabolic conditions, chemotherapy, and gastrointestinal disorders.
- Supportive Care: Aids pets recovering from surgeries, trauma, or severe illness requiring nutritional support.
Important Safety Information
- Dosage Warning: A 15 mg tablet is generally intended for larger pets. Because dosing in pets requires careful, weight-based calculations, using a whole 15 mg tablet can easily lead to an overdose in smaller animals.

Always consult your veterinarian for the proper dosage based on your pet’s specific condition and weight.
