DIURIJECT
Diuretic agent used to reduce blood volume and pressure.
COMPOSITION
Contains: Ammonium Chloride 5.4 mg/mL
ACTIONS
Ammonium chloride causes a transient diuresis. When administered before exercise, diuresis results in a reduction in blood volume which may help reduce the incidence of exercise-induced pulmonary haemorrhage (EIPH).
Reduction in blood volume results in a reduction in the exercise induced rise in pulmonary arterial pressure, pulmonary arterial wedge pressure and capillary pressure.
Elevated pulmonary pressures are implicated in causing EIPH, thus reducing pulmonary pressure may help reduce the incidence of EIPH.
Ammonium chloride also has expectorant properties and systemic and urinary acidifying properties in a number of species. It is metabolized in the liver to form urea and hydrochloric acid.
INDICATIONS
To induce transient diuresis
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
Horses: Give 50 mL by slow intravenous injection 4 - 5 hours before strenuous exercise.
PRESENTATION
50 mL sterile glass bottle.
