Mild Diuretic and Acid Neutralising Syrup
NEUTRADEX® is formulated to combat the effects of acidosis and dehydration, particularly after fast work.
Neutradex® also encourages horses to drink, increasing the action of the kidneys in clearing toxic waste produced by hard exercise.
BENEFICIAL FOR:
- Horses in hard training.
- Horses with a history of ‘tying-up’.
- Preventing muscle soreness after fast work.
- Preventing dehydration.
- Young nervous and heavily muscled horses in work
WHY USE NEUTRADEX®?
- Active ingredient citrate buffers acid build-up.
- Encourages horses to drink.
- Palatable caramel flavour.
- Has a gentle diuretic effect which encourages the kidneys to flush toxins from the body.
Precautions:
Ensure an adequate supply of cool, clean water is accessible. NEUTRADEX® exerts a mild diuretic and neutralising effect on acidic substances which accumulate in the muscles and blood stream. Metabolic acidosis may impair normal muscular function, thereby interfering with performance. Dehydration, which can cause sluggish blood flow and impaired tissue oxygenation, can be effectively assisted by the administration of NEUTRADEX®. In horses, NEUTRADEX® may also be prescribed as a co-treatment in kidney, bladder and urinary tract infections.
NEUTRADEX® is a caramel flavoured syrup available in 1L bottles, 5L casks
Each 28mL dose contains: Sodium acid citrate 7.93g
Dosage And Administration
Horses (450 – 500 kg): 28mL of NEUTRADEX® added to the feed daily. Following hard or fast work or racing, give 50 mL NEUTRADEX® orally (by syringe over the back of the tongue). Horses suffering from dehydration need a supplementary daily ration of electrolytes.
NEUTRADEX® can be safely used with balanced electrolyte supplements based on the particular work program.
HUMIDIMIX® - use daily for heavy sweaters such as trotters, pacers, endurance horses and eventers.
OR
STRESSALYTE® - use daily for gallopers such as thoroughbreds.
RECHARGE® - apple flavoured “sports drink” for rapid post-work replenishment at a dose of 40-80mL over the tongue for immediate response. It has a similar composition to horse sweat and also contains glucose for energy replacement. Make sure the horse has access to fresh water.
To Help Prevent Tying Up
- Give additional 30mL by mouth after every workout or slow work, and increase to 50mL after any hard work (if horses are prone to muscle soreness and tying up).
To Maintain Thirst On Fast Work Days
- Give 50mL NEUTRADEX® over the tongue as soon as possible after very hard or fast exercise to neutralise acid and stimulate drinking.
Race Days
- 50mL over the tongue prior to evening meal
Day After Racing
- 50mL over the tongue prior to morning meal
