Description
Kentucky Red 60ml Injection
Kentucky Red injection is thought to stabilize the endothelial cells of the vascular lining, thus helping to prevent epistaxis. Sodium salicylate has been shown to create a “slippery covering” of blood cells thereby reducing resistance of blood flow in the right side of the heart.
Kentucky Red Injection is a sterile injectable supplement for horses and camels designed to support red blood cell function, oxygen transport, and overall stamina. It is intended for performance animals in training or competition, as well as those recovering from illness, anemia, or surgery. It is also known by its active ingredient name, carbazochrome salicylate.
Kentucky Red Usage
When using Kentucky Red 60ml Injection, make sure to :-
10ml iv 24 hours prior
10ml 4-6 hours before training to aid in preventing or reducing the magnitude of epistaxis
Warning: Kentucky Red is considered a prohibited substance in many racing jurisdictions. Administration must be done by a veterinarian. Always consult a veterinarian for appropriate use and dosages.
Ingredients
The formulation includes a synergistic blend of components that support red blood cell production:
- Iron compounds: Promote the synthesis of hemoglobin.
- Vitamin B12 and Folic Acid: B vitamins essential for red blood cell formation.
- Amino acids: Including glycine and methionine, which support protein metabolism.
- Copper and Cobalt: Critical cofactors in erythropoiesis, the process of producing red blood cells.
- Carbazochrome salicylate: Also known as Kentucky Red, this is a hemostatic drug that acts as a capillary stabilizer.
Pharmacological action
Kentucky Red is designed to stimulate red blood cell production, enhance hemoglobin, improve oxygen delivery, and reduce fatigue. It also supports metabolic recovery and stabilizes capillaries.
Dosage And Administration
Kentucky Red is administered via intramuscular injection under veterinary supervision. Typical dosages for adult horses or camels range from 10–15 mL, usually once or twice weekly, as determined by a veterinarian.
Regulatory Status
