How to use

Since the instructions for use for Cyston do not contain dosages for cats, it is important to consult a doctor before starting treatment. He will select the dose of the drug and the regimen depending on the pathology, weight of the animal and its general condition.

Cyston is usually given to cats in the following dosages:

• for small animals – a quarter of a tablet;
• for large pets - half.

Sometimes the single dose is increased to 1-2 tablets, especially in acute cases of the disease. The medicine is given 2 times a day. The duration of treatment is determined by the doctor depending on the severity of the pathology and other factors. In case of urolithiasis, the drug should be given to the pet for 4-6 months.

The easiest way is to mix the tablets into the food. Due to the absence of a specific smell and taste, it is usually not difficult to hide the medicine in canned food, minced meat or other delicacies. You can also force-feed the tablets to the animal or dilute them in water, and then solder them from a syringe without a needle.

Note! If Cyston is used to treat urolithiasis, the pet must follow a diet. Indeed, in most cases, the formation of stones is promoted by poor nutrition.

How to give Cystone for the prevention of urolithiasis?

Urolithiasis is a fairly common disorder of the urinary system in cats and dogs. Therefore, it is so important to carry out preventive measures to prevent the disease. The use of medication to prevent urolithiasis in a cat requires prior consultation with a veterinarian in order to assess the real susceptibility to the disease and the correct dose for a particular animal.

Posture when urinating in a cat with urolithiasis

Typically, experts prescribe no more than 1/8 tablet of Cyston daily. With a high tendency to urolithiasis and with frequent relapses, the number of daily doses can be increased to two. Sometimes ¼ tablet is prescribed daily.

External manifestation of urolithiasis

Additional prevention of urolithiasis in cats is proper nutrition, taking into account age and the elimination of possible disorders in the urinary system.

Advantages and disadvantages

The medicine has the following advantages:

• the drug does not contain chemical or toxic components that negatively affect internal organs and the liver;
• no contraindications;
• the substances contained in plants do not accumulate in the body;
• the drug can be combined with antispasmodics, antibiotics and other medications;
• does not cause side effects even in case of overdose;
• well tolerated;
• has high efficiency.

The disadvantage of Cyston is the duration of therapy for urolithiasis. Although the pathology can be treated with other drugs for a long time. If you purchase Cyston for the treatment of inflammation and infections of the urinary system, one package (100 tablets) will be unprofitable, since the bulk of the medicine will remain unclaimed. The price of the package ranges from 300 to 500 rubles. It is sold in regular pharmacies.

Cyston's analogues

Doctors speak well of the use of the drug, but do not rule out individual intolerance to it. In this case, you can use Cyston analogues, which also have a natural composition and have an anti-inflammatory effect.

For cats with individual intolerance to Cystone, the use of analogues is acceptable

Table 2. Cyston analogues

It is not recommended to use any anti-inflammatory capsules on animals, since adjusting the dose requires removing the enteric coating, which reduces the effectiveness of treatment several times.

Reviews about the use of Cyston

Owners of cats and dogs respond positively to the use of the drug. In most cases, the drug was used for the prevention and treatment of urolithiasis. Despite long-term therapy, which lasts at least 12 weeks, owners noted a rapid decrease in inflammation, improved urination, and a decrease in irritability and aggression in cats. In dogs, the results were similar.

In the vast majority of cases, therapy with the participation of Cyston was successful

The drug coped well with the consequences of taking antibacterial drugs, which is why pets sometimes had problems with their kidneys. A short course of administration and complete restoration of organ function without the absence of side effects were appreciated by approximately 90% of owners.

When eliminating inflammation in the kidneys of an infectious and non-infectious nature, as well as treating colic, additional use of antimicrobial medications or antispasmodics has always been required. In their absence, Cyston was unable to cope with the disturbance and the animal’s condition worsened or remained at the same level.

Kidney diseases require complex treatment; monotherapy with Cyston is not enough

Side effects have been reported in exceptional cases and are associated with individual intolerance or allergy to the components of the product. They usually manifested themselves in the form of itching, urticaria, nausea and diarrhea. They went away on their own after stopping Cyston or after taking an antihistamine.

Despite positive reviews for the treatment of a specific animal, Cyston should not be thoughtlessly used to eliminate the disease in all cats and dogs. It is important to exclude intolerance and allergies to the components of the medication and select doses taking into account the age and weight of the pet. Different individuals may have completely different reactions to the drug.

The owner must understand that cystone is not a panacea and approach its use wisely
