Diuretic agent used to reduce blood volume and pressure.
Composition
Contains: Ammonium Chloride 5.4 mg/mL
Features and Benefits
Ammonium chloride causes a transient diuresis. When administered
before exercise, diuresis results in a reduction in blood volume which
may help reduce the incidence of exercise-induced pulmonary
haemhorrage (EIPH).
Indications
Reduction in blood volume results in a reduction in the exercise induced
rise in pulmonary arterial pressure, pulmonary arterial wedge pressure and
capillary pressure.
Elevated pulmonary pressures are implicated in causing EIPH, thus
reducing pulmonary pressure may help reduce the incidence of EIPH.
Dosage and Administration
Horses: Give 50 mL by slow intravenous injection 4 - 5 hours before strenuous exercise.
Storage
Store below 25o C (air conditioning). Protect from light.
