FIP Treatment for Cats with GS-441524: The Complete Guide
What Is FIP?
FIP stands for Feline Infectious Peritonitis. The disease develops from a mutation of feline coronavirus (FCoV) and is divided into four main types:
- Wet FIP: Fluid accumulation in the abdomen or chest — the most common form
- Dry FIP: Internal granulomatous lesions without fluid accumulation
- Neurological FIP: Affects the central nervous system
- Ocular FIP: Affects the eyes
How Does GS-441524 Work?
GS-441524 is an antiviral compound that inhibits the replication of the FIP virus inside the cat's cells. It is given daily through subcutaneous injections or oral tablets, and the full protocol lasts 84 days (12 weeks).
Available Types of GS-441524 Treatment
- 20mg/ml injections: Standard concentration — suitable for most FIP types and cat sizes
- 30mg/ml injections: Advanced concentration — recommended for neurological FIP and larger cats
- Oral tablets: Available for three weight categories — under 2kg, 2 to 4kg, and over 4kg
Treatment Protocol: 84 Days Step by Step
The treatment protocol consists of three stages:
- Weeks 1–4: Start treatment and monitor the response — improvement in appetite and activity should be noticeable during the first two weeks
- Weeks 5–8: Continue treatment and perform a complete blood test to confirm improvement
- Weeks 9–12: Complete the protocol — do not reduce the dose even if the cat improves
After the 84 days are complete, the cat enters an additional 12-week observation period to ensure there is no relapse.
Calculating the Correct Dose for FIP.
The dose is calculated based on the cat's weight and the type of FIP:
- Wet : 6 mg/kg/day
- Dry : 8 mg/kg/day
- Ocular: 10 mg/kg/day
- Neurological: 10 mg/kg/day

Is vitamin B12 part of FIP treatment?
Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) may be included in a veterinarian-supervised supportive-care plan, especially if testing shows a deficiency or a cat has digestive problems affecting nutrient absorption. B12 supports normal cellular and neurological functions, but it is not an antiviral and cannot cure FIP or replace GS-441524. Benefits for cats with normal B12 levels have not been established.
For cats receiving injectable GS-441524, FIP Cure Plus also lists 20 mg/ml GS-441524 with vitamin B12 and 30 mg/ml GS-441524 with vitamin B12. These are formulation options, not an instruction to add extra B12 or change the antiviral regimen. A veterinarian should assess the appropriate treatment plan.
