Description: If your cat has recently been diagnosed with feline diabetes, ask your veterinarian about once-daily prescription Bexacat (bexagliflozin tablets). Bexacat is the first-of-its-kind oral tablet designed to treat diabetes in cats that are otherwise healthy and have not previously been treated with insulin. Bexacat is a breakthrough cat diabetes treatment that's insulin-free and needle-free. That means you can help manage your cat's diabetes without injections, minimizing the risks of side effects and maximizing comfort and convenience. 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.
