Mephyton
Mephyton is a prescription medication that contains phytonadione, a form of vitamin K. Vitamin K is a substance naturally found in the body that stimulates the production of prothrombin, the blood clotting factor. Mephyton is commonly used in the treatment of rodenticide poisoning, blood clotting disorders, or vitamin K deficiency. If your pet has been diagnosed with a blood clotting disorder, has ingested rodent poisoning, or has a similar condition, your veterinarian may prescribe a medication like Mephyton. Consult with your veterinarian before administering this medication and follow their recommendations for use. Available in 5 mg tablet.
- Read and follow the prescription label carefully for storage information, possible side effects, and drug interactions.
- Give the exact amount prescribed and only as often as directed.
- Do not skip doses or stop giving the medication without consulting your veterinarian.

What is the average price and where can I buy it? My dog ate rat poisioning and the doctor gave use a prescrition and so we went to CVS and they said for one pill it was $82 and we need 150 tablets.?

Unfortunately, Mephyton is not currently available at VetRxDirect. We typically recommend checking your local pharmacy or asking your veterinarian for a supply. Mephyton contains phytonadione, a synthetic version of vitamin K1 used to treat blood clotting disorders as well as rodenticide poisoning. You may also ask your veterinarian about the generic equivalent, Vitamin K1, which can be easier to find and may also be at a lower price.

Why is the same strength drug for humans 50 times this price??
-
Medication costs vary based on a variety of things, including manufacturer, location, availability, and other factors. Mephyton, in particular, is a brand name medication and is only produced by one manufacturer. Because the 5mg strength is only available from this one manufacturer and not available as a generic, the price is completely controlled by the manufacturer. Thank you, VetRxDirect
