| Dosage | Amounts to be administered and administration route For oral administration only. When mixed with a concentrate feed, the product was shown to be palatable to horses. The dosage should be adjusted according to the individual animal’s response, but the following may be taken as a guide: Horses: 450 kg (1000 lb) body weight: the contents of two sachets to be administered twice on day 1 of treatment (equivalent to 8.8 mg/kg/day) followed by the contents of one sachet twice daily for four days (4.4 mg/kg/day), then one sachet daily, or on alternate days, sufficient to keep the horse comfortable (2.2 mg/kg/day). Ponies: 225 kg (500 lb) body weight, one sachet (4.4 mg/kg) on alternate days. Discontinue treatment if no response is evident after four to five days treatment. For ease of administration mix the powder with a small quantity of feed. Dampening of the veterinary medicinal product in feed 5 minutes prior to feeding has been shown to have no detrimental influence on the palatability of the product. However, the influence of prolonged dampening on palatability or stability of the product is not known. Overdose Overdosing may result in gastric and large intestinal ulceration and general enteropathy. Renal papillary damage may also occur with impaired renal function. Subcutaneous oedema, especially under the jaw may become evident due to plasma protein loss. There is no specific antidote. If signs of possible overdosage occur, treat the animal symptomatically. The therapeutic index of phenylbutazone is low. In man, charcoal haemoperfusion in conjunction with dopamine has been used successfully to treat overdosage with phenylbutazone, but there is no experience of the use of this technique in the horse. |
| Withdrawals | Withdrawal periods Not to be used in horses intended for human consumption. Treated horses may never be slaughtered for human consumption. The horse must have been declared as not intended for human consumption under national horse passport legislation. |
