The treatment regimen depends on the type of disease.

A universal course for severe forms of canine distemper in dogs, panleukopenia and infectious peritonitis in cats consists of 40 doses:

from the 1st to the 2nd day – 4 doses per day (every 6 hours),
from the 3rd to the 10th day – 3 doses per day (every 8 hours),
from the 11th to the 13th day – 2 doses per day (every 12 hours),
