Succimer
別名: Chemet, Succicaptal
### Important Information for Pet Owners * **Strong Odor:** This medication contains sulfur and has a very strong, unpleasant "rotten egg" odor. **This is completely normal** and does not mean the drug is bad. * **Odor Transfer:** The smell may transfer to your pet's breath, saliva, urine, and feces during treatment. * **Administration:** To make it easier to give, you can open the capsules and sprinkle the contents onto a small amount of highly palatable, soft food. * **Hydration is Key:** Ensure your pet has constant access to fresh water. The drug binds to the lead and flushes it out through the urine, so good hydration is essential for the treatment to work safely.
劑量必須由獸醫按你寵物的個別情況決定。切勿在沒有獸醫指導下給予人類藥物或其他寵物的處方藥。
