J Feline Med Surg. 2009 Aug;11(8):624-6. doi: 10.1016/j.jfms.2008.12.002. Epub 2009 May 24.

Abstract

Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is considered a fatal disease. Three cats with dry form FIP were treated with Polyprenyl Immunostimulant. Two of the three cats are still on treatment and are alive and well 2 years after diagnosis. The third cat survived 14 months but was treated for only 4.5 months. Further studies are necessary to assess the potential of the Polyprenyl Immunostimulant.
