Cerenia 160mg Tablets contain maropitant citrate, a fast-acting veterinary antiemetic used to prevent and treat vomiting in dogs. This higher strength tablet is typically prescribed for large-breed dogs or dogs requiring a specific maropitant dose as part of their treatment plan. Cerenia helps control acute vomiting, nausea and motion sickness, restoring comfort and supporting recovery during gastrointestinal upset or travel.
Maropitant citrate 160mg per tablet.
4 tablets per pack at 160mg strength.
Cerenia 160mg is prescribed to prevent and treat vomiting in large-breed dogs, including vomiting caused by motion sickness, gastrointestinal conditions or other veterinary-diagnosed issues.
The 160mg tablet provides an appropriate dose for medium to large dogs without requiring multiple smaller tablets, making administration easier and more accurate.
Maropitant blocks neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptors in the brain, preventing the action of substance P, the main neurotransmitter involved in the vomiting reflex.
Cerenia typically begins working within hours, with most dogs gaining relief from vomiting and nausea shortly after administration.
Most dogs benefit from up to 24 hours of relief from a single dose. Your veterinarian will advise how many days of treatment are necessary.
Giving Cerenia with a small meal may help reduce stomach upset, especially when used for motion sickness. Always follow your vet’s instructions.

Maropitant is used in cats, but only under strict veterinary guidance and in different strengths. Do not give dog tablets to cats unless prescribed.
Your vet may advise giving the tablet several hours before travel to ensure peak effectiveness for motion-sickness prevention.
