PUNE, MAHARASHRA, INDIA, May 8, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — The small animal healthcare & wellbeing focused vertical of SAVA Healthcare Limited, SAVAVET, announced the launch of FELINTRA.
FELINTRA is a new and improved formulation of Itraconazole, an antifungal therapy used in the treatment of fungal infections in cats.
“Itraconazole in FELINTRA is more readily available in target issues because of the addition of cyclodextrin or cyclic carbohydrate in the formulation.
