We have our cat on liquid gabapentin and it's always a fight to get it in her, she won't eat food for like 2 days if we mix meds in it one day cause she doesn't trust it after that so we gotta go the kitty burrito route for her med administration. It can have a sweet smell/taste. The liquid Gabapentin that we use in our clinic comes in a sweet, fruity flavor but has no xylitol. What does liquid gabapentin taste like? Gabapentin oral solution is supplied as an oral solution containing 250 mg/5 mL of gabapentin. The inactive ingredients for the oral solution are anise flavor, artificial strawberry flavor, glycerin, hydrochloric acid, purified water, sodium hydroxide and xylitol. Veterinarians prescribe gabapentin for dogs to help seizures, pain, and anxiety. Learn about its uses, side effects, and dosing. Apparently gabapentin tastes really, really bad. Jonathan the cat is supposed to consume 50 mg/day, which is half of the powder inside a capsule. Jonathan the cat insists on chewing pill pockets Gabapentin is available as oral capsules of 100 mg, 300 mg, and 400 mg; tablets of 100 mg, 300 mg, 400 mg, 600 mg, and 800 mg; and an oral solution of 50 mg/mL. However, the need often exists for a higher-concentration oral liquid, and if tablets or capsules are used as the drug source, a suspension will result. DESCRIPTION Gabapentin oral solution is supplied as an oral solution containing 250 mg/5 mL of gabapentin. The inactive ingredients for the oral solution are anise flavor, artificial strawberry flavor, glycerin, hydrochloric acid, purified water, sodium hydroxide and xylitol. Does liquid Gabapentin for cats taste bad? The drug can be administered with or without food, but if your cat vomits after taking Gabapentin on an empty stomach, consider giving future doses with food (or, even better, right before feeding). Do cats like the taste of gabapentin? Mixed with food, most cats find gabapentin palatable. Gabapentin is also available as a commercially available liquid or may be compounded as either a flavored tablet or liquid. Gabapentin is used in human medicine primarily as a seizure medication and to treat neuropathic (nerve) pain and anxiety. Help! My little Jack Russel has been put on Gabapentin yesterday for spinal pain. Because she is so little, to get the correct dosage the capsules need to be opened and mixed with water. This would usually be ideal for administering, but when I gave her the first dose last night, the taste was so bad her whole mouth started foaming. Tips on administering liquid gabapentin? My older dog was diagnosed with mild pancreatitis yesterday, vet said we caught it early and could be treated at home. She gave me a number of meds including two liquids: metronidazole and gabapentin. He doesn’t like either of them but I’m struggling with the gabapentin. I’m guessing it tastes Gabapentin is a synthetic analogue of the neurotransmitter gamma-Amino butyric acid (GABA). Synthetic = made in a lab Analogue = the exact same molecule. An identical copy. A clone. Which means Gabapentin, just like GABA, has butyric acid for a basic building block Butyric acid makes vomit, rancid butter, and parmesan cheese smell the way they do. Gabapentin has one of the most bitter tastes I've ever tasted. I know that because I've always tasted all meds prior to giving them to my cats. After tasting it, I couldn't get that taste out of my mouth for hours, so I can fully understand the reaction of your cat. Try to drop the dose at the very back of her mouth. Gabapentin is available in both liquid and powder forms, and can be easily flavored or compounded to make it easier for consumption. When flavoring any medical compound, a bitter blocker or taste modulating product should be used to help prevent any bitter or off flavors from being detected. I agree with some of the comments. Gabapentin will not taste good mixed with anything for most cats. Contrary to what I used to be told, it does have a taste with my cats and that taste is aversive. Gabapentin for cats can help soothe certain painful conditions. Learn more about its uses, safety guidelines, and more. However, no flavor stuck out as the favorite. One interesting finding was that cats don’t like sweet flavors in water-based formulations. This surprised Nichelason and her peers because cats can’t taste sweetness. “They lack the gene to taste sweetness, so it’s interesting that they actively disliked the sweet flavor,” she notes. Gabapentin can be used as a mild sedative, as part of a pain management regimen, and for nervous system issues like seizures and anxiety. Luckily, there is a commercially prepared Gabapentin liquid formulated specifically for animals that makes it easy to flavor. My cat also gets gabapentin for arthritis, and she will only take it in a liquid. My vet office has it compounded in marshmallow (yes) because they found it to mask the super bitter taste of gabapentin the most.
