FIP Treatment Cost in UAE and Saudi Arabia: A Clear Guide

Key takeaway: FIP treatment cost in the UAE and Saudi Arabia depends on three things: your cat's weight, which of the four forms of Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) your cat has, and the route you and your veterinarian choose. The core medicine is GS-441524, and at CureFIP the antiviral injectables start at AED359.00 for the 20 mg/ml strength, while the oral CURE FIP™ Dual Antiviral Oral Capsules are AED499.00. The standard course runs 84 days under veterinary supervision, and your final cost scales with how much medicine your cat needs each day.

Cost is one of the first questions Pawrents ask, and it deserves a straight answer. Below we break down the prices exactly as they appear in our Gulf store, explain what drives the number up or down, and show you how to estimate your own cat's course. We are clear about what the figures show and what your veterinarian still needs to confirm.

FIP Treatment Cost in UAE and Saudi Arabia: A Clear Guide

How much does FIP treatment cost in the UAE and Saudi Arabia?

FIP treatment cost in the UAE and Saudi Arabia is driven by the dose your cat needs daily over an 84-day protocol, so there is no single flat price that fits every cat. At CureFIP, the GS-441524 Antiviral Injectables are priced by concentration: AED359.00 for 20 mg/ml, AED479.00 for the 30 mg/ml 10ML vial, and AED599.00 for 40 mg/ml. The oral route, CURE FIP™ Dual Antiviral Oral Capsules (GS-441524 + EIDD-1931), is AED499.00. Prices are shown in AED and are the same canonical figures whether you are ordering to the UAE or Saudi Arabia.

A heavier cat, or a cat with a form of FIP that requires a higher dose per kilogram, will use more medicine per day and therefore complete a more expensive course. This is why a transparent provider quotes per-unit prices and a dosing structure rather than a single headline number.

Why is GS-441524 the medicine that sets the price?

GS-441524 is the antiviral at the core of modern FIP treatment, and it is the hero ingredient in every CureFIP antiviral product. Evidence shows a 92% success rate for GS-441524 monotherapy reported by UC Davis (Pedersen et al., PMC6435921), which is why it anchors the protocol and, with it, the cost. More than 100,000 cats have been treated across our network since 2019.

Because GS-441524 is dosed by milligrams per kilogram of body weight, the active ingredient is the single biggest variable in your total. The vial strength you choose (20, 30, or 40 mg/ml) affects how many vials a course requires, which is why the catalog lists three concentrations at three price points.

Why does FIP treatment cost vary so much from cat to cat?

FIP treatment cost varies from cat to cat because the daily dose changes with the cat's weight and the form of FIP, and the protocol runs for 84 days. FIP takes four forms, wet, dry, ocular, and neurological, and each carries its own dose per kilogram in the GS-441524 injectable protocol. The higher the per-kilogram dose, the more medicine your cat uses each day and across the full course.

The four forms below mirror the four-row dosing structure for the GS-441524 Antiviral Injectables, so the symptoms you see line up with the dose your veterinarian will set.

Wet (effusive) FIP

Wet FIP is the effusive form, marked by fluid building up in the abdomen or chest, which can cause a swollen belly or labored breathing. In the GS-441524 injectable protocol, the wet form is dosed at 6 mg/kg, the lowest of the four per-kilogram doses, which makes it the least medicine-intensive form per day at a given weight.

Dry (non-effusive) FIP

Dry FIP is the non-effusive form, with little or no fluid, often showing as weight loss, fever, and organ involvement that can be harder to spot early. In the GS-441524 injectable protocol, the dry form is dosed at 8 mg/kg, a step above the wet form.

Ocular FIP

Ocular FIP affects the eyes, with signs such as color change in the iris, cloudiness, or inflammation. In the GS-441524 injectable protocol, the ocular form is dosed at 10 mg/kg to reach the tissues involved.

Neurological FIP

Neurological FIP affects the nervous system, with signs such as wobbliness, seizures, or behavioral changes. In the GS-441524 injectable protocol, the neurological form is dosed at 10 mg/kg, the same higher dose as the ocular form, because both require strong tissue penetration. Your veterinarian sets the exact dose for your cat.

How much do GS-441524 injectables cost in the Gulf?

GS-441524 Antiviral Injectables at CureFIP are priced by concentration, from AED359.00 to AED599.00 per the strengths listed below. All three follow the same schedule: 1 subcutaneous injection per day, 7 days a week, for 12 weeks (84 days), under veterinary supervision, referencing Pedersen et al., UC Davis (PMC6435921).

The concentration that suits your cat depends on the daily dose in milligrams, which your veterinarian calculates from your cat's weight and FIP form. A higher concentration delivers the same dose in a smaller volume, which can mean fewer vials across the course.

How much do the oral capsules cost?

The oral option at CureFIP is the CURE FIP™ Dual Antiviral Oral Capsules (GS-441524 + EIDD-1931) at AED499.00, taken as 1 capsule per day, every day, for a recommended 12 weeks. The dual antiviral route is dosed by weight band, not by FIP form:

• Under 2.5 kg: GS-441524 25 mg + EIDD-1931 5 mg

• 2.5 to 5 kg: GS-441524 35 mg + EIDD-1931 8 mg

• Over 5 kg: GS-441524 50 mg + EIDD-1931 12 mg

For the dual antiviral combination, evidence shows 78.3% remission (Li and Cheah, 2025). The oral dual route is positioned for wet and dry FIP. In some regions it is noted as not recommended once ocular or neurological signs are present, or if the cat cannot eat or defecate, so confirm suitability with your veterinarian before starting.

Injectable or oral: which route fits which cat and budget?

The injectable GS-441524 route is dosed by FIP form and carries the 92% UC Davis monotherapy figure, while the oral dual capsule route is dosed by weight band and carries the 78.3% remission figure from Li and Cheah (2025). The table below compares the two on the ground-truth facts so you can discuss the right fit with your veterinarian.

Neither figure should be blended with the other; each belongs to its own product and protocol. Your veterinarian will weigh your cat's form, weight, and ability to take oral medicine when recommending a route.

How do I estimate my cat's total FIP treatment cost?

To estimate your cat's total FIP treatment cost, work from your cat's weight and FIP form to the daily dose, then scale that across the 84-day course. Follow these steps with your veterinarian:

1. Confirm the diagnosis and FIP form (wet, dry, ocular, or neurological) with your veterinarian.

2. Record your cat's current weight in kg, since the dose is per kilogram for injectables and by weight band for oral capsules.

3. Have your veterinarian calculate the daily dose: for injectables, that is 6 mg/kg (wet), 8 mg/kg (dry), 10 mg/kg (ocular), or 10 mg/kg (neurological).

4. Choose the route and product with your veterinarian, then select the injectable strength (20, 30, or 40 mg/ml) or the correct oral weight band.

5. Multiply the daily requirement across 84 days, and remember that a growing cat may need dose recalculation as its weight changes.

Because the exact number of vials or capsules depends on your cat's individual weight and dose, ask your veterinarian for a course total. You can review every current price on the CureFIP Gulf store at curefipgcc.com.

Are there extra costs beyond the antiviral?

Beyond the antiviral itself, plan for veterinary consultations, diagnostics, and monitoring bloodwork across the 84-day protocol, since FIP treatment must be supervised by your veterinarian. Some Pawrents also choose optional organ-support supplements as an adjunct, but a supplement is never a substitute for GS-441524 antiviral treatment and should only be added on your veterinarian's advice.

Monitoring is part of doing this properly. Regular checks help your veterinarian confirm your cat is responding and decide whether the dose needs adjusting as weight changes.
