Ipakitine or Epakitin is a chitosan, calcium carbonate, lactose and hydrolyzed soy protein based Intestinal Phosphate Binder for dogs and cats. Chitosan is a natural polysaccharide ingredient extracted from the crab and shrimp shells. It naturally binds dietary phosphorus and limits the intestinal absorption of phosphorus. Chitosan also binds uremic toxins. Lactose and hydrolyzed soy provide protein and carbohydrates. It also reduces gut pH and accelerates phosphorus binding. Calcium carbonate binds with extra phosphorus and excretes through feces. Managing phosphate levels has evidenced to enhance renal function.

Ipakitine is a nutritional feed supplement and shall be given in dogs and cats suffering from Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) & Renal failure.

Epakitin should be started from stage II of IRIS (International Renal Interest Society) guidelines Or When serum creatinine level goes beyond 1.4 mg/dl in dogs & 1.6 mg/dl in cats
