Entyce is a flavored oral solution that is used to stimulate appetite in dogs. It is a tasty appetite stimulant that can help treat both chronic and acute conditions in dogs that cause a decrease in appetite. Entyce 30 mg/ml oral solution is available as 10 ml, 15 ml, and 30 ml bottles that come with a convenient dosing syringe for quicker and more accurate administration.
Entyce contains capromorelin, which mimics the hunger hormone (ghrelin) in the brain that generates the feeling of hunger.
ENTYCE (capromorelin oral solution) is indicated for appetite stimulation in dogs.
ENTYCE provides a convenient, once-daily oral solution for treating inappetence. Please reference the chart for recommended dosages.
To administer ENTYCE, the bottle should be shaken gently and then the appropriate amount of solution withdrawn using the provided syringe. The syringe should be rinsed between treatment dose.1

CONCLUSION This study demonstrates that a ghrelin receptor agonist, ENTYCE, can stimulate appetite and increase body weight in a large population of client-owned dogs with reduced appetite of varying etiologies and was well-tolerated.
