Introduction
Viocort is a specially formulated injection designed for the protection, management, and treatment of muscle disorders in horses, dogs, and camels. It serves as an aid in the control of muscular dystrophy and acts as a muscular stimulant, promoting overall muscle health and function.
This high-potency formulation has been proven effective both in Australia and internationally for horses across various disciplines, including racing, endurance, sport, stud, and travel. Viocort functions as a muscle protector and tonic, helping to prevent episodes of ‘tying up’ in horses, a condition characterized by muscle stiffness and pain.
The active constituents of Viocort include:
- ATP (adenosine triphosphate): Provides an immediate source of muscle energy.
- Uridine triphosphate: Another source of muscle energy, closely related to ATP.
- Heptaminol HCL: Increases blood flow for enhanced exercise and endurance capacity, while also aiding in muscle building and maintenance.
- Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin): Stimulates appetite for energy metabolism.
- An essential trace element with antioxidant properties that protect muscles from damage and prevent tying-up and related muscle problems.
- Magnesium aspartate: Enhances oxygen delivery to muscle tissue, promoting muscle strength, endurance, and contraction.
- Potassium aspartate: Supports glucose/glycogen metabolism for energy production.
Directions for use:
Viocort should be injected slowly subcutaneously or intramuscularly.
For Horses: Administer 4 mL per 100 kg body weight.
For dogs: Administer 1 mL per 25 kg body weight.
Prevention: Administer one injection each week for 2-3 weeks.
Treatment: Administer one injection every 3 days for 9-12 days.
It’s crucial to adhere to meat withholding periods and consult racing authorities, stewards, or veterinarians regarding withholding times after treatment and before racing or events.
