FipDr™ GS-441524 Injectable 30mg/ml
Precision Dosing for Small Cats and Kittens
What This Product Is
FipDr™ GS-441524 30mg/ml is the highest-concentration injectable formulation in our product range. It contains the same active antiviral compound — GS-441524 — as our 20mg/ml formulation.
The total administered dose (calculated in mg per kg of body weight) remains identical across concentrations.Concentration does not determine efficacy. It determines injection volume — and injection volume determines dosing precision.
Why Concentration Matters for Small Cats
FIP treatment dosing is calculated in mg/kg. In cats weighing more then 2.5 kg, the required dose is higher in absolute terms.
When using higher-concentration formulations, this results in extremely low injection volumes, often approaching the lower limit of accurate measurement with standard syringes.
For example:A 0.05 ml deviation in a 0.1 ml injection represents a 50% dosing error.
In FIP treatment, consistent and accurate dosing over the full 84-day protocol is critical to achieving optimal outcomes:
Underdosing may delay clinical response and increase the risk of viral persistence
Overdosing may impose unnecessary physiological stress
The 30mg/ml formulation provides a clinically manageable injection volume, improving dosing accuracy in small cats where precision is essential.
Indicated Cases
This formulation is appropriate for:
Adult cats weighing more then 2.5 kg
Kittens diagnosed with FIP
Cases where precise low-volume dosing is required
This Formulation Is Not the First Choice For
Cats weighing less then 2.5 kg → the 20mg/ml formulation is more appropriate
Cases requiring higher-dose protocols → the 30mg/ml formulation is preferred
Clinical Background
GS-441524 is a nucleoside analogue that functions as an inhibitor of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp).
Following cellular uptake and intracellular phosphorylation to its active triphosphate form, it is incorporated into viral RNA, leading to premature chain termination and inhibition of viral replication.
Its efficacy in treating FIP was demonstrated in a landmark 2019 study published in Nature (Pedersen et al.), followed by extensive real-world clinical use across thousands of cases globally.
The 20mg/ml formulation contains the same pharmaceutical-grade GS-441524 as all FipDr™ injectable products.Differences in concentration reflect clinical usability and dosing precision, not product quality.
Concentration Selection Guide
Concentration | Primary Use Case |
20mg/ml | Cats under 2.5 kg · Kittens · Precision dosing |
30mg/ml ( This product) | Cats 2.5–5 kg · Standard FIP cases · First-line use |
30mg/ml (higher dosing protocols) | Larger cats · Relapse · Increased dose requirements |
Administration
Route: Subcutaneous injection
Frequency: Once daily
Dose: Calculated in mg/kg based on current body weight
Standard treatment duration: 84 consecutive days without interruption
Dose adjustments should only be made under veterinary supervision.
Early clinical response is typically observed within the first 7 days, including:
Improved appetite
Reduction in fever
Increased activity
If no response is observed within 7 days, further evaluation is recommended before discontinuation.
Quality and Sourcing
FipDr™ injectable formulations are produced to pharmaceutical-grade standards, including:
Verified API sourcing
Concentration accuracy testing
Stability validation
Each batch undergoes quality control prior to release to ensure consistency and reliability.Batch documentation is available upon request for veterinary or compliance purposes.
