Description

COMPOSITION:

Contains per g:
Sodium salicylate 1,000 mg

DESCRIPTION:

Sodium salicylate inhibits the biosynthesis of natural prostaglandines. By inhibiting prostaglandin syntheses, inflammation and pain perception will be reduced. Sodium salicylate has an antipyretic, anti-inflammatory and analgesic mode of action. It is absorbed quickly in the gastrointestinal tract. Sodium salicylate is metabolised in the liver and excreted via urine and milk.

INDICATIONS:

Salicyl Forte wsp is indicated for the supportive treatment of fever in acute respiratory infections in calves. It is effective in the treatment of inflammation in pigs, combined with antibiotic therapy. Salicyl Forte wsp is also effective in the treatment of pain during fever and inflammation caused by viral or bacterial infections in poultry.

CONTRA-INDICATIONS:

Do not administer to animals with a severe impaired liver or kidney function. Do not use in new-borns or in calves younger than 2 weeks or piglets younger than 4 weeks. Be careful using Salicyl Forte wsp in anaemic, weak or dehydrated animals, because it effects the plasma-proteins and blood pH. If Salicyl Forte wsp needs to be used for a long-term period, intermittent dosage is required: for instance use during 3 days, then stop using during 2 days. Salicyl Forte wsp has an anti-coagulant effect on the blood. Do not use before an operation.

SIDE EFFECTS:

Intestinal irritations may occur. Long-term treatment may result in stomach or intestinal ulcers. Other possible side effects: encephalopathy, increased breathing frequency and disturbance of the blood pH.

INCOMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER DRUGS:
