To administer Elura™: Remove the cap, insert the dosing syringe, invert the bottle, withdraw the appropriate amount of solution. Return the bottle to the upright position, remove syringe, replace the cap. Rinse the syringe and plunger with water and leave apart to dry.

If the cat is routinely fed meals, offer food 30 minutes after administering the dose.

If the cat vomits within 15 minutes or only receives a partial dose, then the dose may be re-administered.

Give the dose as soon as possible. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose, and continue with the regular schedule. Do not give 2 doses at once.

Side effects may include vomiting, hypersalivation, inappetance, behavior change and lethargy. Monitor for changes in thirst or water intake, lethargy or weakness, digestive issues (vomiting, diarrhea, drooling, decreased appetite), or behaviors.

Other side effects may occur. If you notice anything unusual, contact your veterinarian.

The following drugs can potentially interact with capromorelin: amiodarone, diltiazem, cimetidine, erythromycin, ketoconazole, itraconazole, rifampin, and phenobarbital. Contact your veterinarian if your pet experiences any unusual reactions when different medications are given together.

Make sure to tell your veterinarian what other medication you are giving to your pet. Quite often your veterinarian may prescribe two different medications, even if a drug interaction may occur. In this case, your veterinarian may vary the dose and/or monitor your pet more closely.
