Have no idea if this is any help or not but we now use domperidone (off licence, from chemist, on prescription) as can't get cisapride now for rabbits. No idea about using it in cats though There were some problems with cisapride in children.

ooooohhhh never used it in a cat, but I suppose the import license would work the same!

We used to import this from USA on a special license from VMD, we had to send in quarterly reports about usage but at one point they were going to change it to be patient specific. It wasn't too difficult to do as there isn't another drug which is similar in its actions (I'm assuming you[re using it for bunnies)

we used to get different flavours - as if the bunnies noticed!!

Is for a cat with megacolon and suspected dysautonomia

No results found on NOAH!

I've got the 5th edition of Small animal formulary (2005) and it's been removed from the book, that would lead to to believe it has been discontinued!

It has been discontinued but I think we can get it imported from another country

Just can't remember from where or how?

& getting chillier!

Try contacting Janssen-Cilag directly? Can't remember, but didn't they sell the product to someone else?

Not much help I'm afraid - TAXI!
