FERROCYL INJECTION 100ML
Ferrocyl is an injectable organic arsenic treatment for anaemias and debilitated states in horses. It combines the therapeutic properties of pentavalent arsenic compounds, with readily available iron and copper. This combination makes Ferrocyl suitable for the treatment of iron responsive anaemias, and as a tool for stimulation of horses in debilitated states, slow convalescence, inappetance, and nutritional and performance related stress.
The organic arsenic in Ferrocyl increases skin and gut blood circulation, promotes healthy coat growth, & stimulates appetite. The iron and copper stimulate red blood cell and haemoglobin production for improved blood counts, improved oxygen transport and improved performance. Copper is an essential compound of many body functions as well.
Ferrocyl has particular application in the following states:
- Shy, picky eaters. The effect is usually rapid, within 2 - 3 injections. Good eaters will recover more rapidly from stress. With the return of normal appetite, any anaemias are often quickly corrected.
- To promote recovery from poor nutritional states, after worming or during hard training or convalescence from illness or injury.
- For overtrained or run down performance horses under stress.
- To improve horses brought into training after long spells.
- After serious illness or injury, parasitism or chronic haemmorhage.
Ferrocyl should be given as a 30ml intramuscular injection, or slow intravenous injection (under veterinary supervision) every 2 days. Repeat as indicated.
Precautions: Contains sodium cacodylate, which is an organic arsenic compound. Do not use arsenic preparations for continuous treatment. A period of at least one month should pass before treatments are repeated.
