CALMAGINE is a veterinary antispasmodic designed for horses, dogs, and cats and used in painful conditions as horse colic. Wondering about its recommended doses? You'll find all the details and more outlined below..
Composition
CALMAGINE Characteristics
– The analgesic effect of CALMAGINE is due to its action on the nerve centres responsible for the perception of pain.
– As an antipyretic and anti-inflammatory agent, the drug accelerates the return to normality in the case of febrile conditions and inflammation associated with pain.
– As a spasmolytic, it exerts an effect on smooth and striped muscle fibres relieving the spastic contraction whether the origin be pain, inflammation or trauma. A simultaneous vasodilation occurs producing an improved irrigation of the affected tissues.
– CALMAGINE could be used in pain associated conditions (colic, uterine contractions, rheumatisms, paroxysmal myoglobinuria, arthritis, tendinitis, myositis, trauma); in spasm conditions (oesophageal obstruction, bloat, spasm of the uterine cervix, post-partum contractions).
CALMAGINE Indications
Use it as Antispasmodic.
