Description

PEPTOSYL is a first line defence against digestive disturbances in horses,

foals and dogs, with a wide safety margin, and analgesic, antiseptic and

antacid actions.

 

Key Features & Benefits:

* PEPTOSYL contains Bismuth salicylate and sodium bentonite in an oral

suspension.

* Non-antibiotic treatment for non-infectious and dietary diarrhoea.

* PEPTOSYL has gut protective, antacid, antiseptic properties, and is

anti-inflammatory to control pain.

After administration, the Bismuth salicylate is converted to Bismuth

carbonate and Sodium salicylate. Bismuth lines and protects the

mucosal (gut lining) surface of the stomach and intestines, absorbs

toxic compounds such as endotoxins, and has protective, antacid and

antiseptic properties. The salicylate component is anti-inflammatory,

and rapidly reduces the pain associated with gut inflammation and

disturbances.

The majority of equine gastro-intestinal disturbances are not of bacterial

origin, therefore PEPTOSYL is a safe, non-complicating treatment

in most foals and adult horses with digestive upsets of nutritional or

non-bacterial origin. Most equine gut disturbances relate to incorrect

management or diet, nutrition, or stress, rather than infection.

Bentonite is a natural clay earth material with properties similar to

activated charcoal. It has the ability to bind (and neutralise) bacterial

endotoxins.

PEPTOSYL is indicated for the control and treatment of diarrhoea and

pain associated with non-bacterial gastro-intestinal disturbance such

as enteritis, gastritis, and colitis.

Being non-antibiotic, PEPTOSYL does not contribute to bacterial

resistance. Oral bismuth preparations are well researched in both

humans and animals, and are reported to be free of toxic side effects.

 

INDICATIONS

PEPTOSYL has no application in the training of normal, healthy

horses, but can be used where indicated in cases of gastro-intestinal

disturbance. It will not “mask” any serious veterinary problems, but will

rapidly relieve the majority of gut upsets from dietary or non-infectious

causes. If rapid response is not seen, seek veterinary diagnosis of the

condition without delay.
