FAQ
What is Masivet 1 Tablet 50mg used for?
Masivet 1 Tablet 50mg is used to treat dogs with mast-cell tumours (a type of cancer). It is specifically for tumours that are severe (grade 2 or 3) and cannot be removed surgically, or for those that have recurred, provided the presence of a mutated form of the receptor protein c-kit in the tumours has been confirmed.
How does Masivet 1 Tablet 50mg work?
Masivet 1 Tablet 50mg contains masitinib, a protein-tyrosine kinase inhibitor. This substance blocks specific enzymes (tyrosine kinases), including the c-kit receptor, which can be overactive in certain mast-cell tumours. By blocking these receptors, it helps to control cell division and prevent tumour development.
What are the common side effects of Masivet 1 Tablet 50mg?
The most common side effects include gastrointestinal reactions (such as diarrhoea and vomiting) and hair loss. These reactions are generally mild to moderate and temporary, usually lasting up to four weeks. Your veterinarian will monitor your dog for side effects during treatment.
Is Masivet 1 Tablet 50mg a prescription-only medicine?
Yes, Masivet 1 Tablet 50mg is a veterinary prescription-only medicine. It must only be administered under the guidance and prescription of a qualified veterinarian.
How should I administer Masivet 1 Tablet 50mg to my dog?
Masivet 1 Tablet 50mg should be given whole by mouth, once a day. Do not divide, break, or crush the tablets. The exact dose and duration of treatment will be determined by your veterinarian based on your dog's weight and response to the medication.
