What benefit has Pexion shown during the studies?
Pexion must not be used in dogs that are hypersensitive(allergic) to the active ingredient or to any of the ingredients.
The active substance in Pexion, imepitoin, is an anti-epileptic medicine.
Pexion has been compared to phenobarbital(another anti-epileptic medicine) in one main study, a field study involving 226 dogs of approximately 70 breeds and aged 0.8 to 15 years.
Even though the proportion of seizure free dogs was lower with Pexion than with phenobarbital, some dogs were well controlled with Pexion.
Therefore, Pexion should not be used as a primary treatment for dogs with cluster seizures(group of seizures occurring close together) and status epilepticus continual seizures.
As side effects were less frequent than with phenobarbital, Pexion is a suitable treatment option for some dogs, considering in particular its safety profile.
Pexion is used in dogs to reduce the frequency of generalised seizures(fits affecting most or all of the brain) due to epilepsy of unknown causes idiopathic.
The Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use(CVMP) concluded that the benefits of Pexion exceed the risks for the approved indications and recommended that Pexion be given a marketing authorisation.
Pexion reduced the average number of generalised seizures from 2.3 to 1.1 per month after 20 weeks of treatment compared with a reduction of 2.4 seizures to 1.1 per month with phenobarbital.
Treatment with Pexion should be started at a dose of 10 mg per kg bodyweight twice a day.
The effectiveness of Pexion to treat dogs with status epilepticus and cluster seizures has not been studied.
