About Coffea arabica
Coffee (Coffea arabica), produced by Greer Laboratories, Inc., and administered intradermal, percutaneous, or subcutaneous in solution form, is a non-standardized allergenic extract. It contains the active ingredient Coffea arabica seed, roasted, at a strength of 0.05 g/mL. The primary use of this extract is to diagnose or treat allergies related to coffee through allergen immunotherapy. It may be used to assess allergic responses or desensitize patients to coffee allergens. Regarding its toxicity, coffee and its components (such as caffeine) are highly toxic to both cats and dogs. Ingesting coffee can lead to severe symptoms in pets, including restlessness, rapid breathing, heart palpitations, muscle tremors, and even seizures. Due to the high toxicity levels, even small amounts can pose a significant risk. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that pets do not ingest coffee or any products containing coffee extracts.
