Potential Drug Interactions

Spine Lithe contains several potent Chinese herbs, including warming Yang-tonifying herbs and Blood-invigorating herbs with known cardiovascular and hormonal activity. Because herb-drug interaction research in dogs and cats is limited, pets taking prescription medications should use this formula under veterinary supervision.

Extra caution may be appropriate for pets receiving anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, NSAIDs, corticosteroids, cardiac medications, or multiple prescription medications. Your veterinarian can determine whether Spine Lithe is appropriate based on your pet's condition, medications, and laboratory results.
