Indications
Treatment of respiratory disease in horses where it is considered that airway obstruction due to bronchospasm and/or accumulation of mucus is a contributing factor, and improved muco-ciliary clearance is desirable. To be used alone or as adjuvant therapy.
In particular:
i) Acute, sub-acute and chronic respiratory allergies.
ii) Acute, sub-acute and chronic infections where the presence of mucu and/or micro-organisms may stimulate bronchospasm or cause airway obstruction and thus an increase in airway resistance. For example; bronchitis, bronchiolitis and bronchopneumonia alone, or associated with equine influenza and other viral respiratory diseases.
iii) Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
In cases accompanied by bacterial infection the administration of antimicrobial agents is recommended.
Dose to be administered and administration route
Administer by slow intravenous injection at a dose of 2.7 ml per 100 kg bodyweight twice daily for as long as necessary. This is equivalent to twice daily administration of 0.8 micrograms clenbuterol hydrochloride per kg bodyweight.
Avoid the introduction of contamination during use.
Adverse reactions
In clinical use, it has been noted that following intravenous administration to horses, cases of transient mild muscle tremor and sweating were observed. It is suggested that a ‘bolus’ effect may have occurred in these cases and caused transient peripheral vasodilation. This vasodilation is a feature exhibited by all beta-adrenergic drugs to a greater or lesser degree. These effects may be minimised by administering the product slowly.
