Get Your Cat Back to Their “Being Themselves” with Solensia

You know your cat better than anyone, but if they’re suffering from osteoarthritis (OA), a chronic and painful disease, they might be hiding the symptoms from you. While you may think your cat is slowing down due to old age, they could be suffering from pain associated with OA. OA pain can make it harder for your cat to navigate stairs, run, jump, or play. It’s important to remember that OA pain can happen to cats of any age, not just older cats.1,2

Ask your vet about Solensia, the first and only treatment that’s been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to control cat OA pain when administered monthly.

Without Management, OA Pain Will Continue to Worsen

OA is a type of arthritis that happens when the protective tissue in the joints (cartilage) is worn down, which may even cause bones to rub against one another. OA makes moving harder, but it can also cause severe pain, seriously affecting your cat's health and well-being.1-3

The pain associated with OA is persistent and chronic, meaning it lasts a long time. If not treated, OA pain will get worse over time.4

If you think your cat is suffering from OA pain, speak to your vet health team about the physical, behavioral, and relationship changes to look for in your cat.

Why Solensia?

Solensia is a once-monthly injection given by a veterinary professional that offers long-lasting (1 month) OA pain control that can help improve mobility and keep OA pain from getting in the way of the unique bond you and your cat share.5*

Solensia is a type of medicine called a biologic (a protein) that works like your cat’s naturally made antibodies to block pain signals and target a root cause of OA pain.6

  • Solensia was shown to be safe and effective, and was proven to help cats improve mobility5
  • Three out of every 4 cat caregivers saw improvement in signs of pain when their cats were treated monthly with Solensia in a 3-month study7†
  • Solensia was shown to increase mobility in cats after a single treatment5‡
  • Solensia is approved as safe and effective in controlling OA pain in cats when used in accordance with its approved labeling
