Veta-K1 is indicated for the treatment and prevention of hemorrhage associated with anticoagulant rodenticide (warfarin-type) toxicity in dogs, cats, and other veterinary patients. It may also be used for bleeding disorders related to vitamin K deficiency or certain liver conditions affecting clotting factor synthesis.

Vitamin K1 is an essential cofactor required for the synthesis of clotting factors II, VII, IX, and X, as well as proteins C and S. By replenishing vitamin K1 stores, Veta-K1 enables the liver to produce functional clotting factors, restoring normal hemostasis and preventing or stopping bleeding episodes.

Veta-K1 is for veterinary use only and should be administered under veterinary supervision. Oral formulations should be given with food to improve absorption. Treatment duration may extend 2-4 weeks depending on the toxin involved. Do not administer intravenously unless explicitly directed by a veterinarian, as anaphylactoid reactions may occur. Always confirm the type of anticoagulant involved, as long-acting rodenticides may require extended treatment.
