Anti-pyretic, anti-thrombotic Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID)
COMPOSITION
Contains: Sodium salicylate 250 mg/mL
ACTIONS
Sodium salicylate produces irreversible inhibition of the cyclooxygenase step of arachidonic acid metabolism, leading to a suppression of prostaglandin production in all metabolic systems. The duration of action allows a twelve hour dosage regime for inflammatory conditions. Thrombosis inhibition requires administration every 2 - 7 days, depending on the dose.
INDICATIONS
General – For the suppression of mild inflammation and/or fever.
(a) MUSCULOSKELETAL Short term treatment of mild joint and connective tissue disease, osteoarthritis, tendon and ligament sprains and exertional myopathy.
(b) PYRESIS Symptomatic suppression of fever in situations where the pyresis is inappropriate or excessive.
(c) THROMBOSIS Prevention or reduction of thrombosis where it plays a part in disease aetiology.
Horse: pedal thrombotic conditions early disseminated intravascular coagulation.
Dog: adjunct to D. immitis adulticide therapy and early disseminated intravascular coagulation.

100 mL sterile multidose glass vial
