Zoetis – Vetscan Phenobarbital Profile – Pack of 6
The Phenobarbital Profile is a cost-effective rotor that evaluates the level of phenobarbital, and provides additional liver values all in one panel. It’s ideal for monitoring the level of phenobarbital treatment to achieve maximal seizure control while avoiding harmful side effects. Further, overdosing can lead to liver damage so it is crucial to carefully dose phenobarbital while closely monitoring the health of the liver to ensure a safe and effective treatment. Analyte: ALB, ALP, ALT, AST, BUN, GGT, PHB, TBIL
Delivery within 1 – 3 Days
