When a dog is lost behind pain:
Find them with LIAVIUM™-CA1
LIAVIUM-CA1 (pregabalin chewable tablets) is the first and only FDA conditionally approved pregabalin for the management of pain and clinical signs associated with Chiari-like malformation (CM) and syringomyelia (SM) in dogs.
The missing piece in pain management
Pregabalin has long been the standard for managing neuropathic pain in humans. LIAVIUM-CA1 finally brings the proven science and relief to dogs.
Pregabalin dosed for dogs

30 mg

With a 6-7 hour elimination half life, LIAVIUM-CA1 is dosed only twice a day. This means there is less likelihood of breakthrough pain, and a potentially better therapeutic outcome.
Predictable
No compounding needed—FDA oversight ensures every dose meets quality standards.
Potent
High potency and rapid absorption work together to powerfully block pain signals.
Consistent
Twice-daily dosing maintains around-the-clock pain relief. No wearing off between doses—just steady comfort.
Pregabalin vs. Gabapentin
A review of human studies found that pregabalin provided faster and better relief of neuropathic pain than gabapentin, with fewer days of severe pain and fewer side effects.1
