Vitamivet K1 10 mg/ml Solution for Injection for Dogs

As the anticoagulant effects of rodenticides are known to be long lasting it is
recommended to start vitamin K1 supplementation with an oral formulation within
12 hours of the last injection for a duration of 3 weeks, and to evaluate the
coagulation status (via one stage prothrombin times) 48 hours after the last
administration. In the case of persistence of the anticoagulant in the body, the
duration of treatment can be extended as long as the anticoagulant persists, to
avoid relapse (the coagulation status has to be evaluated 48 hours after each
attempt of treatment cessation).
