How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Lysine HCl 250 mg/ml Oral Solution (Vet) is a liquid formulation designed for oral administration in felines. This antiviral medication is primarily used to treat a range of feline diseases, including Feline Herpes Virus, Calicivirus, Feline Infectious Peritonitis, Feline Panleukopenia, and Feline Rhinotracheitis. The active ingredient, Lysine HCl, functions by inhibiting the activity of an enzyme known as arginine, which is crucial for the replication of the virus.

The oral solution offers accurate dosing and convenient delivery of medication, making it an ideal choice when a specific dosage strength or ease of swallowing is required. The recommended dosage is 250 mg/ml, administered twice daily for a minimum of two weeks. However, it is crucial to note that Lysine HCl should not be used in cats with kidney or liver disease, as it can exacerbate the damage to these organs.

Some cats may experience side effects such as vomiting, diarrhea, or anorexia. If any of these side effects occur, it is crucial to contact your veterinarian immediately.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
