How to Order Prescriptions

Description

Dopram ( Doxapram ) stimulates respiration and may be used to start or stimulate respiration in newborn puppies and kittens following a difficult birth or a C-section. It may also be used during or after surgery, or to diagnose laryngeal paralysis. It is not a substitute for proper artificial respiratory support (mechanical ventilation).

Always follow the dosage and administration instructions provided by your veterinarian. If you have difficulty giving the medication, contact your veterinarian. Doxapram may be given as drops under the tongue or by injection. The effect is usually seen within 2 minutes of giving the drug. If you miss a dose, give it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to the regular schedule. Do not give two doses at once.
