Solensia: The Latest Arthritis Treatment For Cats

Solensia Cat

Solensia is a new type of medication that is specifically designed to treat osteoarthritis pain in cats – it is unlike anything else we have seen before. Solensia has been shown to significantly reduce pain and improve the mobility and quality of life of cats.

Solensia is considered a safe and effective treatment for managing osteoarthritis in cats. As a monoclonal antibody, Solensia targets and neutralises a specific protein involved in the pain process, helping to reduce pain and inflammation within the joint.

How is it given?

Solensia is given via convenient monthly injections, removing the challenge of daily medication.

It’s crucial to keep up with monthly Solensia treatment as skipping or delaying doses can lead to a flare-up of pain, impacting their quality of life.

What to expect?

Solensia is a long-acting treatment that requires consistent administration over time to reach its full therapeutic effect. While some cats may experience initial pain relief sooner, it typically takes up to six months of regular injections for Solensia to build up to its optimal level in the body and deliver maximum benefits for osteoarthritis management.

Solensia has a positive safety profile and is generally well tolerated, especially when compared to other arthritis medications, such as anti-inflammatories.
