Lectade Sachet 64g
An oral rehydration therapy containing a balanced mixture of glucose, glycine and electrolytes for the treatment of dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. Glucose and glycine are actively absorbed by the intestinal tract causing water and sodium to be absorbed simultaneously with these nutrients, ensuring a high degree of rehydration in scouring and dehydrated dogs, cats and young farm animals.
Indications
Diarrhoea
Dehydration (simple or associated with diseases such as canine parvovirus and feline panleucopaenia)
Post travelling stress and dehydration
Post-surgical or disease convalescence
Concomitant treatment of viral or bacterial scours
Directions for Use
Add the contents of Section A and Section B of one Lectade sachet to 2 litres of warm water. Stir until dissolved. Feed the appropriate quantity of Lectade and store remainder in a cool place until next treatment is required. Prepare fresh Lectade solution daily.
Section A and B must always be used together when preparing Lectade solution.
500 mL of Lectade solution can be made up using a 5 mL medicine spoon, by adding 1 level spoonful of powder from Section A and 3 heaped spoonfuls of powder from Section B to 500 mL of warm water. Stir until dissolved.
General note: Where specific disease control (e.g. antibiotic therapy) is indicated, this can be administered in conjunction with Lectade.
