The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first treatment for the control of pain associated with osteoarthritis in cats.
The agency explained in a news release on Thursday that frunevetmab – the active ingredient in Solensia – is a cat-specific monoclonal antibody designed to recognize and attach to a protein called nerve growth factor that is involved in the regulation of pain.
