Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is an infectious disease caused by feline coronavirus and affects exclusively cats. The disease is incurable and usually fatal. Studies are currently investigating the suitability of the active ingredient GS-441524 for the treatment of FIP. However, there is presently no corresponding approved veterinary medicinal product in the EU. The purchase of unapproved (veterinary) medicinal products or active pharmaceutical ingredients, such as GS-441524, for example, via the internet, constitutes a violation of the Austrian Medicines Import Act.
