New Tramvetol^® - Licensed Tramadol Tablets for Dogs

Tramvetol^® is presented in two convenient pack sizes of 30 and 100 tablets to assist practices with dispensing and storage as a Schedule 3 controlled drug. The adaptable, meat flavoured 50mg tablets can also be easily divided into two equal parts to ensure accurate dosing. 

Suitable for both short courses and long-term treatment, 2-4mg per kg of Tramvetol^® can be administered every 8 hours or from 6 hours, if required, based on the intensity of the pain. In addition, Tramvetol^® has a wide therapeutic window and a maximum daily dose of 16mg per kg.

Commonly used in combination with other forms of analgesia, including NSAIDs¹, Tramvetol^® is quickly absorbed and boats a rapid onset of action². Peak plasma concentrations are achieved within 45 minutes³.

‘Tramadol is already an important part of the analgesia toolkit for many veterinary practices’ said Dan Johnson, Product Manager at Virbac.  ‘We hope that Tramvetol^® will prove to be a much more convenient option for practices, whilst helping to provide dogs with a better quality, pain free life’.
