1.4SAMe has anti-inflammatory, pain-reducing and tissue-repairing effects. It has obvious effects on arthritis. It can significantly promote cartilage production and reduce joint pain, hardness and swelling. SAMe has been used as a prescription drug to treat arthritis in Europe.

2. Usage

This product is an enteric-coated film-coated tablet. It must be taken completely on an empty stomach, 1 tablet each day and night, 1 hour before eating. Take it about 4 hours after eating. Do not break it, break it, chew it or melt it.

In order to prevent food refusal when feeding medicine, you can wrap it in a small amount of soft food and take it; if you take it with food, please take it at twice the dosage. The number of tablets at any time can be gradually reduced or reduced according to the needs of the pet. Many pets should take DenosylTM at a long-term maintenance dose, which is 1/3 of the normal dosage.

It is currently the first drug used by American veterinarians to treat liver diseases in various dogs and cats. Its main functions are to repair damaged liver cells, eliminate ascites, restore normal bile function, reduce jaundice, and promote liver disease in dogs and cats. Automatic feeding. Can produce obvious results in a short period of time.

2. Denamarin Liver Protecting and Consolidating Tablets 90 and Liver Protecting and Consolidating Tablets 225mg Chewable Tablets
