PEPTOSYL is a first line defence against digestive disturbances in horses and dogs, with a wide safety margin, and analgesic, antiseptic and antacid actions.
Key Features & Benefits:
Bismuth lines and protects the mucosal (gut lining) surface of the stomach and intestines, absorbs toxic compounds such as endotoxins, and has protective, antacid and antiseptic properties. The salicylate component is antiinfl ammatory, and rapidly reduces the pain associated with gut infl ammation and disturbances.
The majority of equine gastro-intestinal disturbances are not of bacterial origin, therefore PEPTOSYL is a safe, non-complicating treatment in most foals and adult horses with digestive upsets of nutritional or non-bacterial origin. Most equine gut disturbances relate to incorrect management or diet, nutrition, or stress, rather than infection.
Bentonite is a natural clay earth material with properties similar to activated charcoal. It has the ability to bind (and neutralise) bacterial endotoxins.
PEPTOSYL is indicated for the control and treatment of diarrhoea and pain associated with non-bacterial gastro-intestinal disturbance such as enteritis, gastritis, and colitis. Being non-antibiotic, PEPTOSYL does not contribute to bacterial resistance. Oral bismuth preparations are well researched in both humans and animals, and are reported to be free of toxic side effects.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
Where possible, withhold food for 24 hours (but do not restrict nursing in foals/puppies). Administer orally.
Horses: 0.5 - 1 mL per kg bodyweight
Dogs: 0.25 - 0.5 mL per kg bodyweight
Repeat dose every 6 hours for 36 hours and from thence at 12 hour intervals for a further 2 to 3 days. Do not administer for prolonged periods to animals less than 30 days old. Regular diarrhoea in horses and foals may indicate a need to consider Thrive P supplementation to improve nutrient uptake from the diet, as well as moderate gut function.
**Export Slaughter Interval (Horses): DO NOT USE less than 28 days before slaughter for human consumption.
**Safety in pregnant animals has not been established.
