//data-ad-slot=”2475549904″ $ads_google = empty($ads_google) ? false : true; ?> if ($ads_google == false) {?> $ads_google = true; ?> } ?> The medicine is available in the form of a solution for oral use. These are drops containing a number of medicinal raw materials in a volume of 1 ml. The activity of the product is due to:

• catnip;
• motherwort;
• hops;
• Baikal skullcap;
• a number of auxiliary components: aspavit, glycerin and distilled water.

The components are related to each other in a precise form designed to help the cats and their nerves.

The solution is packaged in polyethylene or glass bottles with an easy-to-use dropper stopper. The drug is placed in cardboard boxes.

On a pleasant note: the shelf life is 2 years from the date of manufacture, but for this the composition must be stored according to all the rules. But it is better to comply with the manufacturer’s requirements than to spend money frequently on a new drug.

You can’t experiment with your pet’s health, has the expiration date expired? The bottle should go in the trash!

As for storage conditions, you need to keep the drug only closed in the production container. Any dry place, without access to light, without the proximity of food products, feed, at a temperature in the range from 0°C to 25°C, is suitable as a place.

Like all medicines, stop stress should not be in the reach of children.

This drug has a pronounced sedative effect. Its components normalize metabolism, help restore blood circulation in the brain, regulate the functioning of the nervous system, while simultaneously calming it. With intake, the excited state begins to decrease, the inhibition of central nervous system reactions is relieved.

As a result of the coordinated work of the components, the cat’s body returns to normal, the animal’s mental state normalizes, fears recede, the adaptation process is much easier, and mental resistance to negative environmental factors increases.

There is another option: Stop Stress tablets. They are produced in quantities of 15 pieces of 200 mg in polymer bottles with screw caps or tablets of 20 pieces in a package with a dosage of 12 mg. The container is placed in a cardboard box. The composition is identical in components, with the exception of peony, and a different ratio of active substances.

How the drugs work

Anti-stress medications are intended to correct behavior, increase resistance to adverse external conditions, calm, and suppress fear. Phenibut regulates the processes of excitation and inhibition in the central nervous system. Motherwort and skullcap have anticonvulsant and antispasmodic effects, slow the heartbeat, and normalize sleep. Peony extract increases the body's resistance to lack of oxygen, hop cones anesthetize and have a hypnotic effect.

Medicines are contraindicated in pregnant, lactating cats and bitches, as well as animals suffering from diabetes, urogenital diseases, and mammary tumors.

Dosage

You can independently calculate the dosage of stop stress drops for your cat. The calculation is done drop by drop: 1 drop per 1 kg of mass. Based on the general recommendations for daily dosage, consider how best to divide the dose. Usually this is a two-time meal, so it is more convenient to treat the cat in the morning and in the evening.

If the cat’s weight is approximately 4 kg, then taking into account a single dose of 1-4 drops, the daily dose will be from 2 to 8 drops. With a weight exceeding 4 kg, the cat will receive 5-16 drops per day, and 2-8 drops at a time.

The general course of correction of the condition should not exceed 20 days.

If there are signs of overexcitation, suspicion of psychogenic behavioral disorders, such as aggression, fear, hyperactivity, excessively frequent and demanding meowing, as well as excessive manifestation of sexual behavior, then in this case the course of treatment will be a full 4 weeks.

If after a while a repetition of all signs in behavior appears, then the course is repeated.

Now let’s figure out what dosage to treat the cats with tablets. The weight of the pet will also be important here, as well as the dosage of phenibut. For a pet weighing up to 5 kg you need half a tablet, so the phenibut content is 25 mg. If the cat weighs 5-10 kg, then he is given a whole tablet containing phenibut 50 mg.

Is it possible to stop stress for kittens?

If the stress of cats can be corrected with such a drug, then for kittens under 12 months of age, the composition of the drug, both in the form of tablets and in the form of drops, is contraindicated. To correct the condition of children, other methods are selected.
