Cream

A white cream for topical application.

Horses, cattle, dogs and cats.

To encourage healing in horses, cattle, dogs and cats when this process is impaired by the presence of necrotic tissue, coagulum, debris or wax. This may occur in traumatic injury, surgical wounds, infected wounds and otitis externa.

Do not use this product in the treatment of otitis externa if the animal has a ruptured ear drum. If in doubt consult a veterinary surgeon.

Do not use in conjunction with other products e.g. teat dips, udder disinfectants, etc. as these will almost certainly neutralise and reduce the effectiveness of the product.

Contact with the eyes should be avoided as the solution may prove irritant on account of its low pH.

See section 4.7 (Use during pregnancy, lactation or lay).

For topical application only.

For external use only.

Care should be taken to avoid contact with the eyes because of the low pH and a possibleirritant effect.

If contact occurs, rinse with clean, freshwater.

May cause skin irritation. It is recommended that gloves be worn when handling the product if you have sensitive skin.

Wash hands after use.

None.

When used for treating udder lesions, the teats and udder should be washed and dried immediately before milking.

None.

Apply twice daily although more frequent applications may be made if necessary.

Wounds:The cream should be spread liberally on to wound surfaces and before each new application it is advisable to wash the area with a multicleansing solution so that loose slough and cream from the previous application are removed without raising the pH.

Otitis externa:In cases of otitis externa, ears should be cleaned with a multicleansing solution prior to the introduction of the cream into the external auditory canal.

Not applicable.

Cattle: Meat – zero days.

Milk – zero hours

Horses: Meat – zero days.

The product has antibacterial properties because of its low pH - approximately 2.3 (due to the content of malic acid, benzoic acid and salicylic acid) and the presence of propylene glycol, which together with the sloughing action create an environment in which healthy tissues can readily grow. These components also ensure that the product is adequately preserved.
