Uni-Flo Plus Injection (Vet) 100ml

Uni-Flo Plus Injection (Vet) 100ml is a veterinary injectable solution used to manage electrolyte imbalances and dehydration in animals. It typically serves as a supportive treatment to restore fluid and electrolyte balance, especially during or after illness, stress, surgery, or trauma.

Here’s a detailed description of Uni-Flo Plus Injection (Vet) 100ml:

Active Ingredients:

• Sodium Chloride (NaCl)
• Potassium Chloride (KCl)
• Calcium Gluconate or similar salts (depending on the formulation)

These ingredients are combined to provide a balanced electrolytic solution.

Indications:

• Fluid and Electrolyte Replenishment: Used for the restoration of lost fluids and electrolytes due to dehydration or imbalance in animals.
• Treatment of Dehydration: For animals suffering from dehydration caused by diarrhea, vomiting, fever, or prolonged exposure to heat.
• Supportive Care: Often used during or after surgeries, stress, or severe conditions that lead to fluid and electrolyte loss.
• Acid-Base Balance: Helps to correct metabolic acidosis or alkalosis in animals.

Dosage and Administration:

• Dosage: The amount of Uni-Flo Plus to be administered depends on the animal’s weight, condition, and the severity of dehydration or electrolyte imbalance. A veterinarian will determine the appropriate dose for each individual case.
• Administration: Typically administered through intravenous (IV) or subcutaneous (SC) injection.
  • Intravenous injection allows for rapid fluid absorption and is often preferred in critical cases.
  • Subcutaneous administration may be used for mild to moderate dehydration and can be done at home under veterinary guidance.

Mechanism of Action:

• The injection works by replenishing essential electrolytes (sodium, potassium, and calcium) and fluids in the body. These electrolytes are vital for many bodily functions, including muscle contraction, nerve transmission, and maintaining blood pressure and fluid balance.

Precautions:

• Veterinary Supervision: Use only under the supervision of a veterinarian. The dosage must be adjusted based on the animal’s size, health condition, and response to treatment.
• Monitoring: Regular monitoring of the animal’s electrolyte levels, heart rate, and fluid balance is recommended.
• Contraindications: Caution in animals with kidney or heart disease, as improper use could worsen the condition.
• Not for Long-Term Use: Uni-Flo Plus is typically a short-term solution to correct immediate imbalances, and long-term hydration or fluid therapy might require other treatments.

Packaging:

• Uni-Flo Plus Injection (Vet) comes in a 100ml bottle, ensuring enough volume for the treatment of medium or large animals.

As always, it is important to follow the specific recommendations of a veterinarian when using this product.
