ps.just wanted to add 'food suppliements' are not always 'safe' to use. You should ALWAYS consult your vet first! Food suppliements can effect liver/kidney function.

Hi
I am not sure on the tablets but the link in my previous post is for powder that does NOT contain anything but Lysine. There is no sugar, salt, starch, yeast, wheat, gluten, corn, soy, milk, egg, shellfish or preservatives. Just a bit of added info & hope that puts you at ease
