EXPRESS: Palatability of sunflower oil-based versus aqueous verum formulations of molidustat in healthy cats.

Sunflower oil-based molidustat is more palatable to cats than aqueous formulations.

A study aimed to compare the palatability of sunflower oil-based and aqueous formulations of molidustat in healthy cats. Sixteen adult cats were divided into two groups, each receiving one of the formulations daily for seven consecutive days. The palatability was assessed using a visual analogue scale based on voluntary intake. Results showed that cats offered the sunflower oil-based suspension had higher voluntary intake scores, indicating better acceptance, while those given the aqueous suspension exhibited minimal intake, even with encouragement. This suggests that molidustat in a sunflower oil-based suspension is more palatable to healthy cats than the aqueous formulation.
