Pharmacodynamic properties: The solution is used as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of circulatory shock. It is intended to provide an interim boost to cardiovascular function, pending restoration of the circulatory volume by conventional isotonic intravenous rehydration solutions. It is intended to improve cardiac output and cause a favourable redistribution of blood flow, to the renal and visceral circulation in particular.
Pharmacokinetic properties: Intravenous infusion ensures rapid distribution. The constituents of the infusion solution will be metabolised and excreted through the same pathways as those substances derived from normal dietary sources.
To be supplied only on veterinary prescription.
