Biotropin Veterinary Injections, Packaging Type : Glass Bottle

Pharmacological Action:

The drug’s mechanism is based on its ability to decompose in neutral to slightly acidic environments, releasing formaldehyde and ammonia. These by-products exhibit antimicrobial effects, with ammonia acting as a mild diuretic and possessing the ability to lower the barrier function of cell membranes. This facilitates the entry of toxic substances into the bloodstream, allowing for quicker elimination from the body. The therapeutic effect typically begins within 40 minutes of administration and lasts for 6 to 12 hours.
