IRON DEXTRAN 20% PLUS 100ML

PRODUCT NAME
IRON DEXTRAN 20%

– solution for injection for piglets.

COMPOSITION
– 1 ml solution for injection contains:
Iron (III) (as a complex of iron hydroxide with dextran)….. 200 mg;
Excipients:
Phenol……………………………………………………………………………. 5 mg.
Sodium chloride, water for injections.

ACTION
Iron dextran has anti-anemic action. Anti-anaemic drugs stimulate the formation of haemoglobin and are active in iron deficiency anaemia. Following intramuscular administration, the drug is well absorbed and stored in the liver. From here, the body takes in the necessary amounts of iron, using them for the synthesis of red blood cells, preventing anemia. Excess iron is eliminated through the digestive tract.

INDICATIONS
Prophylaxis and treatment of iron deficiency anemia in all forms, post-hemorrhagic following helminths, infectious diseases and postpartum septicemia, as well as in hemorrhagic diseases.

HOW TO USE
It is administered intramuscularly in 1 – 2 points separated in the following doses, depending on the species of the animal:
Piglets:
Prophylactic: 0.5 – 1 ml product / animal 2 – 4 days after birth.
Curative: 1 ml / animal.
Calves:
Prophylactic: 2 – 4 ml product/animal in the first week of life (divided into two separate points).
Curative: 3 – 6 ml product / animal (to be administered two consecutive days in two separate points in the maximum amount of 3 ml/day).
Miei, kids:
Prophylactic: 0.5 ml product / animal 2 – 4 days after birth.
Curative: 1 ml product / animal. In case of clinical signs of anemia, a second dose can also be administered, in the third or fourth week of life.

CONTRAINDICATIONS AND PRECAUTIONS
It should not be administered parenterally to animals born with vitamin E and selenium deficiency. The product should not be used for intravenous administration, as it may cause phlebitis. Do not use in animals with kidney disease. Do not administer in case of hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients. Skin pigment impregnation may occur at the site of administration. Allopurinol should be avoided in animals given iron because it inhibits xanthine oxidase, the agent that mobilizes iron in the liver.
Fe ion deposits have been detected in the liver as a result of this action.
It decreases the oral absorption of tetracyclines with which they form insoluble complexes that are not absorbable in the gastrointestinal tract. Chloramphenicol may slow down the reaction to iron administration. Administration of very high doses can cause: siderosis, hypotemia poisoning, shock and death.

WAITING TIME
Meat and offal: zero days.
