Composition and action
Neoferon is a functional food. Its main feature is that it can be systematically used for animals with weakened immune systems. It contains no chemicals that can have a toxic effect on the liver, kidneys or other internal organs.
The medicinal effect of the drug is due to the presence of inulin and a phytocomplex of 13 herbs. Inulin is a prebiotic, meaning it promotes the proliferation of beneficial microflora in the intestines. Its main feature is that it is not digested in the upper part of the digestive system. Thanks to this, it serves as a breeding ground for beneficial bacteria. Restoring intestinal microflora is the key to strong animal immunity. When the digestive system functions properly, the body receives vitamins, minerals and other beneficial components necessary for the effective functioning of the immune system.
The effect of inulin is enhanced by the phytocomplex, which consists of the following medicinal herbs:
- St. John's wort;
- eucalyptus;
- purple coneflower;
- calendula (flowers);
- birch buds;
- pine buds;
- thyme;
- swampy dried grass;
- oregano;
- large plantain;
- yarrow;
- licorice root;
- alder fruit.
In combination, medicinal plants have the following effects:
- anti-inflammatory;
- antiseptic;
- immunomodulatory;
- antifungal, etc.
The drug also contains skim milk powder, starch, lactose and magnesium stearate. But there are no components that can accumulate in the body, so the drug is not addictive.
When to use
According to the instructions, Neoferon is used for cats with weakened immunity in order to improve it. The drug can also be used to strengthen defenses during the vaccination period. In this case, the animal develops a more stable immunity against infectious diseases, and also reduces the risk of various complications.
Neoferon can also be used for cats as an adjuvant for the following health problems:
- with panleukopenia;
- with adenovirus;
- with viral enteritis;
- for parainfluenza and other viral pathologies;
- with demodicosis;
- with sarcopticosis;
- with pyoderma;
- for dermatophytoses, etc.
In the presence of fungal or viral diseases, Neoferon is combined with symptomatic drugs and drugs that eliminate the cause of the pathology.
Important! An immunostimulating agent can be used to prevent sepsis or purulent wounds due to damage and inflammation of soft tissues.
The drug is also given to pets during the rehabilitation period after serious injuries and surgical interventions. By strengthening the immune system, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effects, the body recovers faster.

Doses and method of administration The drug is administered orally to animals. Before vaccination against viral diseases, puppies are given 1 tablet per day (regardless of the type and weight of the animal) for 3 days before vaccination. For viral diseases, neoferon tablets are prescribed to animals in combination with therapeutic and symptomatic agents at a dose of 1 tablet per 10 kg of animal weight (single dose no more than 5 tablets) twice a day for 3 to 7 days. In severe cases of the disease, the simultaneous use of neoferon in tablets and neoferon for injection in doses is recommended, according to the instructions for the use of drugs. For demodicosis, sarcoptoidosis, dermatophytosis, pyoderma of mixed etiology and ichthyosis, neoferon tablets are used in combination with chemotherapeutic agents once or twice a day for 3 days at a dose of 1 tablet per 10 kg of animal weight (single dose no more than 5 tablets).

Features of application
Depending on the complexity of the problem, an immunostimulating agent is given to pets 1-2 times a day. The instructions for use indicate that the dose of Neoferon for cats is calculated simply - 1 tablet per animal. In this case, the weight of the pet does not matter. Because of the smell of medicinal herbs, cats voluntarily refuse to eat the tablets, so you can give the drug in the following ways:
- Crush the tablet and mix it with food that the animal will happily eat. You need to take a little feed.
- Crush the tablet into powder and then mix with a little warm water. Give the cat the prepared solution from a syringe without a needle. The disadvantage of this method is that animals may spit out part of the solution, so you will have to increase the dose.
- Forcefully place the tablet on the root of the tongue. To do this, open your pet's mouth and lift his head up. Place the tablet and stroke your neck to trigger the swallowing reflex.
The duration of use of the medicine is 5-10 days. If necessary, the course can be repeated once a month. If vaccination is planned, then an immunostimulating agent should be given 5 days before the procedure. The manufacturer recommends using an immunostimulating agent together with Lactobifide to increase its effectiveness.

Doses and method of administration
Before use, the drug is dissolved in water for injection at the rate of 1 dose of neoferon in 1 ml of water. An aqueous solution of neoferon is administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly. When vaccinating puppies against viral diseases, one dose of the injection drug is administered intramuscularly or subcutaneously simultaneously with the vaccine (in the other paw), regardless of the weight of the animal (for small breed dogs, cats and minks - 0.5 doses). To treat the initial stages of viral diseases, the drug is used together with symptomatic agents subcutaneously 2 times a day every 10 - 12 hours for 3 days, then the course is repeated for 1 - 3 days depending on the condition of the animal.

Owner reviews
Alice, owner of the Scottish Fold cat:
“Our cat began to have serious digestive problems - he began to have bloody stools. During the examination, irritation of the gastric mucosa and other gastrointestinal problems were discovered. We took expensive medications, but there was no significant improvement. Then, on the advice of a friend, we bought Lactobifid and Neoferon. After just two days, blood stopped appearing in the stool. The drugs were taken for 10 days. Now there are no problems with the digestive system. In addition, I noticed that the cat’s fur became thicker and shiny. But for a dog I used the medicine for poisoning, I didn’t notice much results.”
Dmitry, owner of a 5-year-old cat:
“We used Neoferon on Lucy after she got hit by a car. She got it, of course. A rib and paw were broken. One side was badly torn. The veterinarian, in addition to the main treatment, prescribed Neoferon. I noticed that after I started using it, the wounds began to heal faster. The cat was recovering quickly. The main thing is that the drug costs mere pennies - about 50 rubles per jar.”
