For cats newly diagnosed with diabetes, veterinarians may recommend the Bexacat (Bexagliflozin) Tablets for Cats. Bexacat is a diabetes medication that works to remove excess sugar, normalizing blood glucose levels and improving symptoms. Bexacat is a once daily tablet that's easy to administer to most pets. No needles or insulin required. Plus, the tablets are flavored for increased palatability.How it Works

Bexagliflozin, the active ingredient in Bexacat, works by inhibiting the absorption of glucose (sugar) back into your cat's bloodstream and expelling it through their urine.

Special Precautions

Before using Bexacat, you must read the entire package insert, including the boxed warning section. Call 1-888-545-5973 or see full safety summary for more information. Do not use Bexacat in cats with diabetes mellitus who have previously been treated with insulin, who are receiving insulin, or in cats with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Do not use Bexacat in cats with evidence of hepatic disease or reduced renal function.

Overdose Information

Contact your nearest emergency animal hospital.

Side Effects

Serious side effects have occurred, with or without warning, and have sometimes led to death in cats treated with Bexacat. Serious side effects may require your cat to be hospitalized and to be given specific treatments, including insulin. The most common side effects include vomiting, diarrhea, less interest in food or not eating, lack of energy, and dehydration. Regular check-ups by your veterinarian are needed to monitor for side effects and to tell if your cat's blood sugar is responding to Bexacat as expected.
