Denosy® contains S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe), a precursor to the potent antioxidant Glutathione that protects hepatic cells from toxins and death. It is recommended to improve hepatic glutathione levels in patients to help maintain and protect liver function^3,4. Denosyl® may also be used in other areas of tissue oxidative injury caused by certain toxins or drugs which are related to reduced glutathione concentrations.⁴ Denosy®, however, goes beyond increasing glutathione levels and has been shown to protect liver cells from cell death and may be useful in cell regeneration.^1,5

• Aids nos mecanismos de desintoxicação do fígado em cães e gatos
• Pode ser usado em outras áreas de lesão oxidativa de tecido e fragilidade celular causada por certas drogas
• Pode proteger contra efeitos negativos no fígado causados ​​por alguns medicamentos
• Very high safety profile ^1,3,4
• Also, supports healthy brain function in senior dogs

O fígado

The liver is one of the largest organs in the body and performs many life-essential functions. It produces a vast number of hormones, enzymes, proteins, and other substances important for your pet’s life and well-being. It also detoxifies and removes waste products in the bloodstream by changing them to a form that can be eliminated. This filtering of waste products is important because toxins can damage the membranes of cells in the liver and other organs. The most important liver “detoxifier” is glutathione, a potent antioxidant and the liver’s first line of defense.

Terapia antioxidante

Both dogs and cats make glutathione from S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe). SAMe is formed naturally by the liver from the amino acid methionine, found in your pet’s diet. When the liver is compromised, production of SAMe decreases resulting in less glutathione.1 This further compromises liver function. A study of dogs and cats with various liver function problems reported that many had low liver glutathione levels.²

Ingredientes

Contém o ingrediente ativo S-adenosilmetionina (SAMe) em um comprimido revestido entérico.

Quando usar

PAW Denosyl® is used as adjunctive treatment for liver diseases or dysfunction, such as the following:

• Hepatite crônica
• Lipidose hepatica
• Cholangiohepatitis
• Toxicidade para o paracetamol
• Corticosteroid use (Note: does not prevent corticosteroid-induced hepatic vacuolar change)
• Outras hepatopatias agudas ou crônicas, incluindo hepatotoxinas e neoplasia

Dosagem e Administração

Absorption of Denosyl® is decreased when it is given with a meal. For optimal absorption, administer Denosyl® at least one hour before feeding your pet. For owners who find it difficult to administer tablets to their pets, Denosyl®tablet(s) may be disguised in a small bite of moist food. It is not necessary to withhold water from your pet when giving Denosyl®
In cats, tablets or capsules can “stick” in the throat instead of passing into the stomach. Therefore, cat owners should gently administer a small amount of water (ask your veterinarian for details) immediately following tablet administration to aid swallowing.
 
Denosyl® tablets should not be broken as the enteric coating of the Denosyl® tablet protects the active ingredient from destruction while in the stomach.
 
O número de comprimidos pode ser gradualmente reduzido ou aumentado a qualquer momento, dependendo das necessidades do animal de estimação. Ao aumentar ou diminuir a dose, os ajustes devem ser feitos em incrementos completos de comprimidos.
 
Muitos animais de estimação são mantidos a longo prazo em administração de todos os dias ou de cada terceiro dia.
