This medication has been shown to cause increased fetal and embryonal losses, and should only be used in pregnant animals when benefits outweigh risks. Pets with decreased kidney function should use this medication with caution.

My order arrived with most of the capsules semi-melted and stuck together in one large clump. The shipment was not exposed to the elements (at least on my end). The replacement shipment arrived in the same condition and was completely unusable. Chewy folks were helpful but clearly the compounding pharmacy did not take precautions regarding heat and/or humidity. I ultimately had to order branded tablets in standard foil sealed bottles with dessicant.
It worked for a little while. Unfortunately, my poor baby had a massive seizure on November 28th and it went on for about an hour and a half. He was 15 years old and I had to do one of the hardest decisions ever. I had to let him go. Under no circumstance would I let him suffer.
Best price we found and the convenience of home delivery makes this a smart purchase.
It's unfortunate because the veterinary nurse who called the prescription in the Chewy made it very clear that this was for a CAT. The pills are huge and definitely not suitable for a cat. Maybe a large breed dog dog. This would be hard for a human to swallow.
The service combined with the pricing makes for an awesome experience
The tablets are scored and when using a sharp pill cutter the pieces fragment.
Chewy is saving me a lot of money on my schnauzers anti-seizure medication. It is much easier than going to the Veterinarian office. Chewy called them to get the prescription and I had it 2 days later. Easy Peasy
I have my dog 1 pill and it was way too strong for her. She was lateral and almost a zombie. My vet and I agreed to not give her any more. I am giving thus 3 stars as I do not want the product to lose any ratings as it may be a life saver to others, however I bought 120 and only used 1.
Got what I needed and when I needed it!
Way over priced. Shame on Chewy for ripping customers off. You can get these from other pharmacies for a third of the price, maybe even less.
