Formula Information

Buprenorphine 0.3 mg/0.1 ml Topical Gel (Vet) is a specially compounded medication designed for veterinary use. It is primarily used to alleviate pain, arthritis, osteoarthritis, inflammation, and dyspnea in animals. This semisolid formulation is dispensed through a pump mechanism, which allows for easy and precise application on the skin. The active ingredient, Buprenorphine, is absorbed through the skin, targeting the affected area directly.

Buprenorphine is an opioid agonist that works by binding to opioid receptors in the body. This action provides analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects, offering relief from pain and inflammation. Additionally, Buprenorphine is known to reduce dyspnea, or shortness of breath, by relaxing the airways and reducing inflammation. This makes it an effective treatment for a range of conditions in veterinary patients.

The gel-like consistency of this formulation ensures it adheres well to the skin, allowing for optimal absorption of the active ingredient. It provides fast-acting relief, making it an effective choice for managing the symptoms associated with pain, arthritis, osteoarthritis, inflammation, and dyspnea in animals.

It is crucial to understand that this formulation should only be used under the supervision of a veterinarian. It is not intended for human use. Misuse can lead to serious health consequences. Always consult with a veterinarian before starting any new medication regimen for your pet.
