Lectade Standard Sachets
Lectade Standard Sachets are a white, water-soluble powder for oral administration contained in paired sachets marked, A and B. For Horses.
Lectade Standard Sachets are used for;
1) reverse the process of dehydration and loss of electrolytes following diarrhoea.
2) replace electrolytes lost through sweating especially after prolonged exercise, e.g. endurance rides.
3) treat subclinical dehydration (reflected by raised serum protein and packed cell volume) in performance horses.
Directions
Lectade Standard Sachets
Diarrhoea: Foals may be offered Lectade at a dose of one sachet dissolved in 4 litres of drinking water (or in the normal water intake if this is sufficient). Alternatively, foals may be dosed by stomach tube. In this case, one sachet of Lectade is dissolved in 2 litres of water and dosed at approximately 20–30 ml/kg bodyweight. Administration should be repeated daily as required. Ordinary drinking water should be made available after Lectade administration. Older horses should be offered Lectade added to drinking water (1–2 sachets daily).
Electrolyte replacement after exercise: 1–2 sachets per day added to drinking water or dissolved at a rate of 1 sachet per 2–4 litres of water and offered at drinking breaks during endurance rides.
Treatment of subclinical dehydration: 1 sachet to be given twice daily dissolved in drinking water. Dosage to be continued for 3 days.
Contra-indications, warnings, etc: Avoid overfeeding. Adequate colostrum should be fed to calves. Keep feeding utensils clean.
Withdrawal periods: Nil.
Pharmaceutical precautions: Store in a dry place below 25°C.
Further information: Effective oral rehydration therapy depends on the active absorption of glucose and aminoacetic acid in the small intestine. This absorption is directly linked with water and sodium movement. The net result of Lectade treatment, therefore, is a reversal of fluid and electrolyte loss incurred during diarrhoea. The inclusion of citrate ions in the product further enhances water absorption.
The excellent palatability facilitates administration to calves and pigs and is useful in improving intake of other medicaments. Our experiments have demonstrated no incompatibility between Lectade and ampicillin, amoxycillin and oxytetracycline.
