The dosing chart provides examples of how Cimalgex multi-scored tablets can be used. The choice of the most suitable tablet type is left to the discretion of the veterinarian based on the circumstances in each case, without leading to over or under-dosing.
EVIDENCE Cimalgex® takes just over two hours to reach maximum concentration3
QUICK REMINDER
Tmax is the time it takes to reach the maximum concentration of a drug in the plasma following oral administration.
T1/2 is the ‘elimination half life’ or the time taken to decrease the drug concentration in the body by a half of the starting dose during elimination.
Time to maximum concentration (Tmax) = 2 hours 15 minutes1
Fast Tmax means Cimalgex® can be given orally pre-operatively with other medications for a beneficial effect post-op. The speed of onset also compares favourably with injectables.
