DID YOU KNOW THAT AS MANY AS 90% OF CATS ARE CARRIERS OF FHV, AND 25–40% ARE CARRIERS OF FCV?

Upper respiratory tract disease (URTD) in cats, commonly known as “cat flu,” is a highly contagious, multi-factorial condition involving both viruses and bacteria.

Unfortunately, in veterinary medicine there is no drug that completely eliminates infection with FHV-1 or FCV. Therefore, treatment of cats showing symptoms of “cat flu” is mainly based on symptomatic and supportive therapy, including:

  • Combating secondary bacterial infections, both local (antibiotic eye drops) and systemic (oral or injectable antibiotics),
  • Using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs,
  • Improving breathing through inhalation,
  • Providing a properly balanced, high-calorie diet combined with adequate hydration (especially important for kittens and older cats),
  • Ensuring optimal temperature and ventilation in the room where the sick animal stays.

BREAKTHROUGH SUPPORT FOR “CAT FLU” THERAPY

In 2019, poly(4-styrenesulfonate sodium) (PSSNa) was identified—a compound based on a polymeric mechanism of action that inhibits infection at various stages, significantly reducing virus transmission in high-risk populations. Studies have proven* that PSSNa effectively works by:

  • Inhibiting viral replication (FCV),
  • Blocking virion entry into host cells (FCV, FHV-1).
