Diuretic agent used to reduce blood volume and pressure
COMPOSITION
Contains: Ammonium Chloride 5.4 mg/mL
ACTIONS
Ammonium chloride causes a transient diuresis. When administered before exercise, diuresis results in a reduction in blood volume which may help reduce the incidence of exercise-induced pulmonary haemorrhage (EIPH).
Reduction in blood volume results in a reduction in the exercise induced rise in pulmonary arterial pressure, pulmonary arterial wedge pressure and capillary pressure.
Elevated pulmonary pressures are implicated in causing EIPH, thus reducing pulmonary pressure may help reduce the incidence of EIPH.
INDICATIONS
Diurex Injection is indicated for use in horses to provide a mild diuretic effect.
PRESENTATION
50 mL sterile glass bottle
STORAGE
Store below 25°C (Air Conditioning). Protect from light.
