Uroeze®
Tablets and Powder
(Ammonium Chloride)
Uroeze® a brand of ammonium chloride in a palatable base is
intended to maintain proper urinary pH. Uroeze makes maintaining
proper urinary pH as simple as placing a dish of your patient's
favorite food in front of him. With Uroeze you can be sure he
takes the medicine, because he takes it with the food he already
craves. You also have the advantage of prescribing only as much
as the cat requires, giving you far greater control over urine
acid levels.
More importantly, because Uroeze and Uroeze 200® are mixed
with his usual food, the cat maintains his balanced diet. Uroeze,
which comes in either powder or tablet form, can be prescribed
routinely as a urinary acidifier in problem cases and, as an occasional
supplement in a program to maintain proper urinary pH.
UROEZE 200 is available in tablet form. Each tablet contains
200 mg of ammonium chloride in a palatable protein base. The suggested
dose of Uroeze 200 tablets for adult cats and dogs is one (1)
tablet per 10 lbs. (4.5kg) body weight twice daily with food.
