Vitamivet K1 50 mg Film-coated Tablets for Dogs

As the anticoagulant effects of rodenticides are known to be long lasting it is
recommended to administer Vitamivet K1 with an oral formulation for 3 weeks. The
coagulation status (via one stage prothrombin times) has to be evaluated 48 hours
after the last administration. If it is prolonged, the treatment is maintained until the
clotting time is normal 48 hours after cessation of treatment to avoid relapse. The
duration of treatment can be extended as long as the anticoagulant persists in the
body.
