Wedgewood's Compounded Molnupiravir

Feline-friendly formulations prescribed by veterinarians for the treatment of Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP).

Until recently, a diagnosis of Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) has been a grim verdict for kittens and young adult cats, especially in shelters and multi-cat environments. But today, there's a new hope on the horizon. 

Wedgewood is proud to introduce a compounded version of molnupiravir—available in both a custom-flavored oral oil suspension and precisely dosed capsules. Independent studies of commercially available molnupiravir, which is a different formulation than Wedgewood's formulation, have shown that using a 12-week treatment protocol is turning the tide against FIP and bringing new hope to affected felines and their families. 

"A newer therapeutic option, is being used as a first line therapy for FIP and as a rescue therapy to treat cats who have persistent or relapsed clinical signs of FIP after GS-441524."

-Roy, et al., "Unlicensed Molnupiravir is an Effective Rescue Treatment Following Failure of Unlicensed GS-441524-like Therapy for Cats with Suspected Feline Infectious Peritonitis"

Key Facts

Available in Two Dosage Forms:

    • Flavored Oral Oil Suspension: Customizable flavors for easy administration and compliance. 
    • Capsules: Available in various strengths, tailored for your cat’s unique needs.

How It Works: Prior independent studies (linked below) of the generic version have shown that it interferes with the FIP virus's ability to replicate, slowing disease progression and allowing for the resolution of symptoms.* 

Dosage and Administration: Dosing varies from 10mg/kg, 12mg/kg, 15mg/kg, and 20mg/kg twice per day based on the weight of the cat and the type of FIP – Effusive, Non-Effusive, Ocular, or Neurological. 

Side Effects: According to these independent studies, side effects are mild, making molnupiravir a good choice for first-line treatment, as well as second-line treatment if other treatments fail. 

Dating: The Beyond-Use Dating for Wedgewood’s molnupiravir is up to 90 days for the oral solution and 180 days for the capsules.
