It works by mimicking ghrelin, the naturally occurring hormone that signals hunger, which increases food intake and drives metabolic changes that support weight gain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWeight loss in a cat with CKD isn't cosmetic. It's progressive, it's associated with shorter survival, and it's one of the harder problems for an owner to solve at home, since coaxing a cat with kidney disease to eat more of a renal diet rarely works by persuasion alone. Elura addresses the appetite side directly rather than relying on food changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe solution is dosed by weight with the included syringe, so it works well for cats who won't take tablets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eActive ingredient: capromorelin, 20 mg per mL\u003cbr\u003eSpecies: cats\u003cbr\u003eForm: oral solution\u003cbr\u003ePrescription required\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eGive orally once daily at the dose your veterinarian prescribes. The label dose is 2 mg\/kg (0.9 mg\/lb), which works out to 0.1 mL\/kg (0.045 mL\/lb) of solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTo draw a dose: remove the cap, insert the dosing syringe, invert the bottle and withdraw the amount prescribed, return the bottle upright, remove the syringe, and replace the cap. Give the solution into your cat's mouth. Rinse the syringe and plunger with water afterward and leave the parts separated to dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIf your cat is fed meals rather than free-fed, offer food about 30 minutes after dosing. If your cat vomits within 15 minutes or only gets part of a dose, the dose may be re-administered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant Safety Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFederal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian.
