What is Porus One for Cats by Dechra?
- Porus One is used to support kidney health in your cat.
- Porus One binds protein digestion byproducts in the intestines where they are excreted in the feces.
Why is Porus One Used for Cats?
- After protein is metabolized, the uremic toxin precursors indole and p-cresol are produced and normally excreted by the kidneys.
- Porus One contains a selective carbon-based adsorber that binds these products in the gut.
- This binding process helps prevent the byproducts from being converted into uremic toxins, which supports kidney health.
What else should I know about Porus One?
- Porus one is composed of tiny, black spheres that are perforated by many pores. These pores are so tiny that only very small molecules, such as uremic toxins, can enter the sphere.
- Particles such as vitamins and enzymes are too large to enter the pores. Therefore, these particles do not get absorbed by Porus One.
- Porus One is suitable for cats of all ages.
- Porus One is tasteless and odorless and can be easily administered at mealtime.
- It is normal for a thin layer of Porus One to remain inside the packet.
- Porus One should be stored at room temperature.
- Opened packets are to be used immediately.
What problems could my cat have with Porus One?
- If your animal’s condition worsens or does not improve, stop product administration and consult your veterinarian.
- Fresh water should always be available to your cat.
How do you use Porus One?
- Under the direction of a veterinarian, administer one packet (500 mg) daily at mealtime per cat.
- If your cat takes oral medications, administer Porus One two hours after administering those medications.
What is in Porus One?
- Porus One contains Renaltec, a selective carbon-based adsorber of protein byproducts in the gut.
Will I get what I see in the picture?
- Porus One is a brand name. You will receive the exact brand that you request.
Is it important for my cat to finish all of the Porus One?
- Dogs and cats may use this product for different lengths of time. Please consult your veterinarian if you have any questions.
Who makes Porus One?
- Porus One is made by the manufacturer Dechra.

So far so good...
This is only the 2nd month my cat has been on Porus One, but she seems to be doing really good on it so far. Her sister was also diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease before her, but from the time she got diagnosed it progressed faster than I ever thought possible (was supposed recheck blood work in 6 months... by month #2 she was listless, no appetite, etc. Took her to the vet & he said she was already at the end, so I had to euthanize her). My vet said possibly her sister could be similar so he told me he had heard really good things about Porus One & to try it. Just to be safe I had her BW rechecked a 2nd time another month later & her numbers hardly fluctuated. I know it could be that maybe the disease didn't hit her as hard or maybe it could be the meds, but I'd like to be hopeful & say that the meds is what's helping her.

Hope!
One of my cats, 8 years old, has Stage 4 Feline CKD. Porus One was recommended by a number of people on the Feline CKD Facebook page as having helped their cat, so with my vet's ok we are trying it. Stripey will not have bloodwork for two months so we will not know until then if it is helping her kidneys. Fingers crossed!

Recently started Porus One, Stanley's appetite has improved
From UndisclosedComments about Porus One (Renaltec) 30 Packets (500mg Each)I purchased Porus One (Renaltec) on the advise of my Vet. There are few treatment options available for kidney disease in cats other than diet. I was thrilled to find this product for Stanley ! Last week we started Porous One, ( he ate this mixed with Churu with no problem) and subcutaneous fluids at stage 3, he was stage 2 a month ago. Our next lab test are in three weeks. Something is helping or both combined Stanley appetite is better and he is not constantly drinking water. Thank you !-

This medication is easy to give to my cats.
From UndisclosedComments about Porus One (Renaltec) 30 Packets (500mg Each)I have 17 years and 16 years old cats and both cats have kidney disease and this was recommended by my cat's vet. I just started to give to them and it seems like they are tolerating pretty well. The main reason for trying this product is to help lower BUN level. Hopefully this product will help them. -

So grateful to have found this medication
From UndisclosedComments about Porus One (Renaltec) 30 Packets (500mg Each)My cat's vet had prescribed this medication for him to take twice a day for the rest of his life and each box was over $100 at the vet.(he needs 2 a month) I, of course, would have paid it for him, even if it made me struggle every month. I did some research and found the exact medication here for less than half the price and I couldn't be more grateful for it. My kitty means the world to me and he will have a long, healthy life and I'm so thankful.-

Can I give porous one to my cat mixed in a little water with a syringe after a meal?
-
Porus One is used to support kidney health in your cat. Per the manufacturer, this product was designed to be given once daily with a meal. They only recommend administering the supplement with food being that other strategies, like a syringe, can carry the risk of aspiration or ineffective delivery of the medication.

My cat will only eat dry food, how can I give this to him?
-
According to the manufacturer, the Porus One powder can be poured over the dry food for administration. The powder should adhere to the pieces of food. Your veterinarian may provide specific instructions or recommendations for your cat; therefore, it is recommended to discuss administration issues with your veterinarian.

Will it work for dogs also??

At this time, Porus One is labeled for use in cats only.

According to their Facebook- Porus One, if you joined them, which I joined, there are pet parents that gave these to their dogs too. You may ask them question and they respond right away. Porus One helped my cat's ckd to be stabilized. Her vet told me that whatever I am doing, continue it as it is helping my cat. I give this together with Rehmania 6.

Since this is carbon-based and to be given away from medications presumably to avoid absorbing it, does Porus One also absorb the nutrients in cat food or reduce the vitamins and minerals of the food? If not, why not??
-
According to the manufacturer, if your cat takes oral medications, administer Porus One two hours after administering those medications. Porus One does not absorb vitamins, minerals, and nutrients from the diet and is intended to be administered directly with food. Porus One has precisely measured pores on the surface of the Renaltec® carbon spheres. These pores are highly selective to allow the precursors of uraemic toxins to enter the inner channel system, but not important nutritional elements. Vitamins, vital substances, and cells cannot pass through into the carbon spheres because they are too big.
Verified Answer -
No, it will NOT absorb the other nutrients or minerals, because the pores of toxins are too small, so only toxins will be absorbed by the Porus One to excrete in the stools. You need to give 2 hours apart the Porus One from all the supplements. I have been using this for my cat since Nov. 2020 (my brother in UK) shipped them to me, and since then-my cat's creatinine stayed at 2.7 stable ckd. I am so thankful, it is now available in US. You can read and join more in their Facebook Porus One. I joined that and they respond right away. Hope it helps.

Is this a 500mg of a tasteless odorless gel? 1 packet once a day? How is it administered? Can it be mixed with a bit of canned cheese whiz if necessary? Thank you!?
-
Porus One is tasteless and odorless, and is administered to cats once daily. Porus One is composed of small, solid spheres. Porus One can be given with any standard food your cat likes, but also with any kind of special diet. If your cat eats dry food only, you may offer Porus One in a very small amount of moist food or in a cat-paste.
Verified Answer -
Need to give 2 hours apart from all medications.
