Ventipulmin® (Clenbuterol HCl) Syrup for Horses, 330 mL
Ventipulmin Syrup is a specialized veterinary bronchodilator formulated for oral administration in horses to aid in the treatment of respiratory diseases characterized by airway obstruction and bronchospasm, such as recurrent airway obstruction (RAO, commonly known as heaves). Containing the active beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist clenbuterol hydrochloride, this professional-grade therapeutic preparation rapidly relaxes airway smooth muscle and stimulates mucociliary clearance. Because of its potent cardiovascular and systemic pharmacological profile, administration requires precise veterinary diagnosis, careful weight-based dosing, and strict adherence to safety protocols.

What Is It Used For?
Primary Veterinary Indications
-
Airway Obstruction Management: Routinely prescribed by equine veterinarians to relieve bronchospasm and respiratory distress associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or recurrent airway obstruction (RAO) in horses.
-
Mucociliary Clearance Support: Improves airflow and aids in the expulsion of accumulated mucus from the respiratory tract of affected performance horses and working equines.
Administration and Dosage Considerations
Route and Dosing
-
Route of Administration: Administered orally, either directly using the calibrated dosing syringe or mixed into a small portion of feed.
-
Standard Equine Dosage Reference: Typically initiated at a low dose and gradually increased over a 3-day period to minimize transient side effects. The standard maintenance dose is 0.5 mcg per kg (0.23 mcg per lb) of body weight twice daily (equivalent to 1 mL per 100 lb of body weight twice daily).
-
Gradual Dosing Schedule:
-
Day 1: 0.5 mL per 100 lb twice daily
-
Day 2: 0.75 mL per 100 lb twice daily
-
Day 3 onward: 1.0 mL per 100 lb twice daily
-
Veterinary Supervision: Dosage schedules and treatment duration must be determined and monitored exclusively by a licensed veterinarian.
Important Safety Information
-
Contraindications: Do not administer to horses intended for human consumption (due to extended withdrawal implications). Contraindicated in horses with pre-existing cardiovascular arrhythmias or known hypersensitivity to clenbuterol. Do not use in pregnant mares near term, as it can cause relaxation of uterine smooth muscle and delay parturition.
-
Side Effects and Precautions: Transient side effects can include mild tachycardia (elevated heart rate), skeletal muscle tremors (particularly in the upper limbs), restlessness, or mild sweating. These effects typically subside with continued dosing or dose reduction.
-
Professional Guidance: Due to its systemic cardiovascular activity, use must be managed under direct veterinary clinical oversight.
Storage and Handling
-
Store at controlled room temperature between 15°C and 30°C (59°F to 86°F). Protect from freezing and direct sunlight.
-
Keep the bottle securely capped when not in use.
