Cerenia Injection for Dogs 10mg/mL (20 mL) - Maropitant Citrate Injectable Solution Cerenia Injection for Dogs 10mg/mL (20 mL) is a veterinary-prescribed antiemetic injectable solution formulated with the active ingredient Maropitant Citrate, a neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptor antagonist. It is primarily used to prevent and treat acute vomiting in dogs and to prevent vomiting due to chemotherapy. Cerenia works by blocking signals in the brain responsible for nausea and vomiting, making it a vital solution for dogs with motion sickness, post-operative recovery, or gastrointestinal upset.
