Elura (capromorelin oral solution) for Cats, 20 mg/mL, 15 mL

Elura is the first ghrelin receptor agonist to be approved for use in cats providing a novel mechanism of action to address weight loss in cats with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The flavored, oral solution is safe to use daily and approved for long-term use to help cats with CKD gain and maintain weight.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) leads to ongoing, progressive weight loss. In most cats, weight loss has already started by the time of diagnosis and accelerates as the disease progresses. Elura works by mimicking the naturally occurring hormone, ghrelin. Weight gain from Elura is thought to be due to a combination of increased food intake and metabolic changes.

Elura should be administered directly into your cat's mouth. Food should be offered 30 minutes after dosing. Mixing Elura with food has not been evaluated. If the cat will not allow oral dosing, discuss with their veterinarianon how to administer.

If the cat is routinely fed meals, Elura should be offered on an empty stomach. Food should be offered 30 minutes after administering the dose.
