Life Aid Extra Oral Rehydration Powder Sachets

Description:

A water soluble powder contained in a single 83.74g sachet which forms an orange solution on mixing with water for oral administration.

Dosage & Administration 
Dosage:
 A solution, which is administered orally, is prepared as follows: dissolve the contents of one sachet in 2 litres (3½ pints) of warm water.

Administration: All milk and milk replacer is withdrawn on first signs of scour. Two litres of the solution, freshly prepared as directed, is given twice daily for 2 days. The solution provides an adequate source of nutrients and electrolytes which are readily absorbed. For the next 4 feeds (2 days) 1 litre of solution and 1 litre of milk replacer is administered. Thereafter normal diet is resumed. If symptoms are severe, the solution may be fed 3 or 4 times daily. The solution may be given for a maximum of 4 days only, when administered on its own.

Life-Aid Xtra is best dissolved by slowly adding the contents of one sachet to 2 litres of warm water, stirring gently. A fine deposit of insoluble carrier may remain after
dissolving the contents of the sachet; this does not affect the efficacy of the product. 

Withdrawal Period 
Meat: Nil
