Minocycline Nanospheres
Take care of your pet gums disease
Periodontal disease is the primary cause of tooth loss in adults dogs and cats
Bacteria can spread via the bloodstream (bacteraemia), contributing to systemic implications. The latest studies link periodontal (or gum) disease in dogs and cats to shortened life spans as well as heart, lung, kidney disease, and feline immunodeficiency virus

IS YOUR PET HAVING DIFFICULTY CHEWING OR BITING SOME FOODS
Adults dogs and cats suffering from the loss of teeth due to periodontitis have to modify their eating habits. Difficulties in chewing food leads to malnutrition
​
When gum disease goes untreated, not only is it painful to your dog and cat, but it can wreak havoc on their entire body
Periodontal disease is the most common disorder affecting cats and dogs
If your pet happens to have periodontitis, it’s time to get busy! While there is no known cure for dogs' and cats' periodontal gums disease, just like diabetes, it can be managed and controlled with Periocine periodontal maintenance program.
Bleeding Gums
Gum disease affects more than 80% of dogs by age three
Most dogs and cats with periodontitis will show signs of redness, swelling, and bleeding along the gum at the base of the teeth, and may also be reluctant or unwilling to eat, drool, turn their heads to the side when chewing, and develop bad breath (halitosis).
Our Periodontal Local Therapy Approach and Core Technology (watch video below)
Periocin drug powered medication is specially formulated into microcapsules and nanocapsules using nanoparticle technology.
​
Microcapsules are small particles consisting of the active drug ingredient, minocycline, which is distributed in a bioresorbable polymer. When Periocin is administered into the pocket, the polymer begins to slowly dissolve thereby releasing minocycline at a sustained rate for at least 14 days. As the polymer dissolves, it is bioresorbed, that is, it chemically breaks down into components that are excreted from the body.
​
The polymer, PGLA, has three functions: to control the rate of drug release, to provide adhesion in the periodontal pocket, and to stabilize minocycline drug.
Minocycline is Highly Lipophilic
It has good tissue penetration into periodontal pocket fluid, aqueous fluid, and synovial fluid
Periodontal Connectivity
Periocin Minocycline Nanosphere promote gum reattachment through the alteration of the tooth root surface chemistry
Nanospheres working 24/7 for 14 days
Even the best veterinarian can only do so much. Minocycline Nanospheres is among the most effective agents against the bacteria associated with periodontitis
the polymer shell begins to slowly dissolve thereby releasing minocycline at a sustained rate for at least 14 days

Topical Vs Oral Antbiotic
Topical application is the best way to deliver high concentrations of antibiotics into the periodontal pockets, whereas antibiotics taken by mouth are absorbed and distributed throughout the body
​
Periocin for high drug concentration at the infection site with reduced risk of antibiotic resistance
PERIOCIN PROPRIETARY APPLICATOR
It allows for the precise expulsion of the powder medicine. The proprietary blunt tip design helps slip between the tooth and the gums and gently expands the gum pocket, placing the time-released medicine where it is most needed.
EVEN THE BEST VETERINARIAN CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH
Periocin microspheres technology consists of a time-release property that is similar to how veterinarian dental stitches dissolve over time in the mouth. This continual time-release technology over an extended period of time allows the medicine to kill the bacteria as the gums heal
HELP YOUR PET LIVE LONGER WITH HEALTHY GUMS
​
Research shows that the number of teeth your dog and cat have is significantly correlated to their life expectancy
​
Periodontal disease is dangerous for dogs and cats, and in some cases is known to take up to two years or more off of a pet's life, if left untreated.
​
Studies have shown that dogs with periodontal disease have a shorter lifespan than dogs without the disease. One study found that dogs with severe periodontal disease had a life expectancy that was up to two years shorter than dogs without the disease.
​
​
There are a number of reasons why Periocin can help dogs and cats live longer.
​
-
First, Periocin can prevent the spread of bacteria from the mouth to other parts of the body, which can help to reduce the risk of developing other health problems.
-
Second, Periocin can relieve pain and discomfort, which can improve the dog's quality of life.
-
Third, Periocin can help to keep the teeth and gums healthy, which can make it easier for the dog to eat and chew.

Owning a pet could reduce one's brain age by up to 15 years
While we certainly don't have to tell you that your furry companion is good for your health and well-being, it turns out that science also agrees.
​
One study found that owning a pet was associated with higher levels of cognition and larger brain structures (these effects were greatest in dog owners). The study also found that owning a pet could reduce one's brain age by up to 15 years. Older adults' brain health was further improved by owning more than one pet. [citation link].
​
Whether you're a dog devotee or a feline fan, studies show that both can be good for your heart (in more ways than one).
One study found that dog ownership was associated with a lower risk of death after an acute heart attack or ischemic stroke and a reduced risk of hospitalization for recurrent heart attacks. [citation link].
Another study that looked at over 4,000 participants over two decades found that people with cats had a decreased risk of heart attack and all cardiovascular diseases, including stroke. [citation link].

So, don't forget to thank your pet today to help you live a healthier, happier life.
