Directions For Use
Administer entire contents of one 500mL pouch by intravenous (IV) infusion. This product is for use by veterinarians only.

Dosage Rates
50mL multi-dose vial administration of 5mL/500kg every second day or as directed by a veterinarian. Administration via intramuscular (IM) injection.
Important Notes
The provision of adequate dietary roughage (hay) will aid the prevention of dehydration due to fibrous matter in the hindgut acting as a storage reservoir for water and electrolytes. Horses must receive 1% of body weight daily in roughage provision.
