Hearing that your cat has FIP is devastating. Feline Infectious Peritonitis was once considered a near-certain death sentence — a diagnosis that left veterinarians and owners with no real options. But that story has changed dramatically. Today, cats with FIP in Malaysia are recovering fully, living normal, healthy lives after completing antiviral treatment. The key is knowing your options, acting quickly, and choosing the right treatment from the start.
FIP Treatment Options in Malaysia
Not all treatments are equal, and understanding the difference can save your cat's life.
What Are the Effective Treatments for FIP Today?
Modern FIP care focuses on antiviral medications that stop the virus from replicating. By halting viral replication, inflammation subsides and the cat's immune system has time to recover. Today, two antiviral options are most commonly used in Malaysia: GS-441524 and EIDD-1931. Both are recognised forms of FIP antiviral treatment, but they differ in clinical history, availability, and research depth.

GS-441524 Treatment — The Gold Standard
GS-441524 is the most widely used and well-documented treatment for FIP. Developed through research at UC Davis and used in real-world cases since 2019, it has an extensive global track record. It works by mimicking a building block the virus needs to replicate — when the virus incorporates GS-441524 instead, replication fails, stopping disease progression. Because of its long history and large number of successful cases, GS-441524 remains the most commonly chosen option among Malaysian cat owners seeking FIP treatment in Malaysia.
EIDD-1931 Treatment — A Newer Alternative
EIDD-1931 is a newer antiviral that disrupts viral replication through a different mechanism than GS-441524. Rather than simply blocking replication, EIDD-1931 works through lethal mutagenesis — it gets incorporated into the virus's RNA and introduces errors into the viral genome at a rate so high that the virus can no longer produce functional copies of itself. Essentially, it causes the virus to make so many mistakes during replication that it destroys itself from within.
It is primarily available in oral form, making administration straightforward for most owners. While this mechanism is promising, EIDD-1931 currently has less long-term data specific to FIP compared to GS-441524. It may be considered depending on the cat's condition, disease form, and response to treatment — particularly in cases where oral-only administration is preferred.
Why GS-441524 Remains the First Choice
The numbers speak clearly. GS-441524's mechanism is direct and well-understood — it is absorbed efficiently, reaches effective concentrations throughout the body including the brain and eyes, and has a strong safety profile across different breeds, ages, and FIP types. Global clinical data consistently shows survival rates of 85–90% or higher in cats that complete the full 84-day treatment course. When dosed correctly and for the full duration, most cats achieve remission and go on to live normal, full lives.
For neurological and ocular FIP especially, GS-441524's superior tissue penetration makes it the preferred choice — these are the cases where the right treatment decision matters most.

Quality-Controlled Product. BasmiFIP undergoes rigorous quality testing to verify GS-441524 concentration and purity, ensuring every dose is consistent and effective.
The BasmiFIP Treatment Journey
Starting BasmiFIP follows a clear, structured path designed to remove guesswork. You begin by contacting the team with your cat's diagnosis, test results, and current condition. A personalised dosing plan is prepared based on your cat's weight and FIP type. Treatment begins — typically with injectable GS-441524 in the early weeks, often transitioning to oral administration as your cat stabilises. Monitoring checkpoints throughout the 84 days allow for dose adjustments and progress tracking. Most owners see visible improvement within the first one to two weeks. By the end of the full course, cats that respond well enter an observation period before being confirmed in remission — returning to normal weight, energy, and bloodwork.
Why Starting Early Changes Everything
FIP progresses rapidly. A cat that appears stable today can deteriorate significantly within days if viral replication continues unchecked. Every day without antiviral treatment is a day the virus has to cause more damage — to organs, to the nervous system, to your cat's overall resilience.
Early treatment increases survival odds, shortens recovery time, reduces the severity of symptoms, and typically lowers total treatment cost because cats in earlier stages require lower doses. If your cat has been diagnosed with FIP, the most important thing you can do right now is begin.
FIP Is Curable — With the Right Treatment
The landscape of FIP treatment in Malaysia has changed completely. What was once a hopeless diagnosis now has a clear, proven cure path. GS-441524, delivered correctly and for the full 84 days, gives your cat a genuine fighting chance — and BasmiFIP exists to make sure every Malaysian cat owner has access to that chance, with the guidance, quality, and support needed to see it through.
Your cat deserves that chance. Don't wait.
FAQ about Treatment with BasmiFIP
1. Is FIP curable in Malaysia? Yes. FIP is now treatable and curable in Malaysia using GS-441524-based antivirals like BasmiFIP. Cats that complete the full 84-day treatment course have a survival rate of 85–90% or higher.
2. What is the difference between GS-441524 and EIDD-1931 for FIP treatment? GS-441524 has an extensive track record since 2019 with thousands of documented recoveries and is available in both injectable and oral forms. EIDD-1931 is a newer oral alternative with less historical FIP-specific data. GS-441524 remains the first-line recommendation for most FIP cases in Malaysia, particularly neurological and ocular forms.
3. How long does FIP treatment take in Malaysia? The standard FIP treatment protocol using GS-441524 lasts 84 days (12 weeks), followed by an observation period. Most cats begin showing visible improvement within the first one to two weeks of starting treatment.
