What is Bonqat®?

  • The first veterinary medication for the alleviation of acute feline anxiety and fear, associated with transportation and veterinary visits.1
  • Flavoured Oral Solution
  • Small dosing volume.
  • Easy and accurate dosing.
  • Takes effect within 1.5 hours.
  • Lasts approx. 7 hours.
  • 6 months shelf life once opened.

Usage

  • Bonqat® is administered orally as a single dose of 0.1 ml/kg (5 mg/kg bodyweight) approximately 1.5 hours before the start of the transportation or the planned vet visit.
  • Can be administered either directly into the mouth, or mixed with a small amount of food. Large amounts of food may delay the onset of effect.

How does Bonqat® work?

  • Contains Pregabalin 50mg/ml.
  • Pregabalin is a structural analogue of the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) neurotransmitter. It binds to the alpha-2-delta subunit of the voltage-gated calcium channel in the central nervous system.
  • This binding reduces the release of excitatory neurotransmitters like glutamate, thereby alleviating anxiety and its symptoms3.
  • The mechanism of action is similar to gabapentin, but pregabalin is more potent2, and its absorption is faster and elimination half-life longer in cats.1, 2
