Composition
Each 1 ml contains:
- Vitamin E: 60 mg
- Selenium (as sodium selenite): 1.5 mg
Pharmaceutical Form
Sterile solution for intramuscular (IM) or subcutaneous (SC) injection
Pharmacological Properties
Vitamin E is a vital antioxidant that protects cellular membranes and vascular integrity, playing a crucial role in immune function and muscle health. Selenium is an essential trace element involved in tissue respiration and the prevention of dietary hepatic necrosis. When combined, vitamin E enhances the biological action of selenium, making their co-administration particularly effective in preventing oxidative stress and muscle degeneration.
Target Species
Horses, cattle, sheep, ewes, lambs, and calves
Indications for Use
Preventive Use
- On farms located in selenium-deficient soil areas
- When animals are fed vitamin E-deficient diets, such as those based on moist stored grains or maize silage
- In herds or flocks with a history of deficiency, reflected in poor fertility, nutritional muscular dystrophy (white muscle disease), or stress-related conditions
- To support pregnant ewes, reducing the risk of deficiency in newborn lambs
- To boost antioxidant levels during periods of heavy workload, especially in performance horses
Therapeutic Use
- For the treatment of various forms of nutritional muscular dystrophy (white muscle disease or nutritional myopathy), affecting cardiac and/or skeletal muscles
- To address symptoms associated with vitamin E and selenium deficiencies
Contraindications
- Do not exceed the recommended dose.
- Use with caution in areas with adequate or high selenium levels to avoid toxicity.
Undesirable Effects
