SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE IN ANIMALS
- In view of its stimulating effect on microcirculation the product should not be applied on fresh wounds until
bleeding has stopped.
- If exuberant granulation tissue has already developed in older wounds, it should be surgically removed before
treatment is started.
- Stabled horses with leg wounds may develop oedema so they should be allowed some outside exercise during
treatment.
- In order to facilitate twice daily treatment it is not recommended to bandage the wounds when being treated
with the product.
- Wash the wound with clear warm water prior to each treatment to remove the film of gel which forms over the
wound.
- Remove any sequestors or necrotic tissue from the wound
