Presentation White granules. Each gram of granules contains 16 micrograms of clenbuterol hydrochloride. Uses Treatment of respiratory disease in horses where airway obstruction due to bronchospasm and/or accumulation of mucus is a contributing factor, and improved mucociliary clearance is desirable.
To be used alone or as adjuvant therapy. In particular: 1.Acute, sub-acute and chronic infections where the presence of mucus and/or micro-organisms may stimulate bronchospasm or cause airway obstruction and thus increase airway resistance. For example, bronchitis, bronchiolitis and bronchopneumonia alone, or associated with equine influenza and other viral respiratory diseases. 2.Acute, sub-acute and chronic respiratory allergies. 3.Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). In cases accompanied by bacterial infection the administration of antimicrobial agents is recommended.
Dosage and administration Administer 5 g Ventipulmin Granules per 100 kg bodyweight twice daily. This is equivalent to twice daily administration of 0.8 micrograms clenbuterol per kg bodyweight. The granules should be added to the feed. A measuring scoop is provided with the 500 g pack. When full, the scoop contains 10 g. A scored line on the scoop indicates a half measure (5 g). Add to feed immediately before administration.
Discard any remaining medicated feed. Treatment should continue for as long as necessary. Contra-indications, warnings, etc Known hypersensitivity to the active ingredient. Clenbuterol may cause side effects such as sweating (mainly neck region), muscle tremor, tachycardia, slight hypotension or restlessness. These are typical for ß-agonists and occur rarely.
