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.
