COMPOSITION

Bismuth sub-salicylate 17.5 mg/mL

ACTIONS

PEPTOSYL is a first line defence against digestive disturbances in dogs, with a wide safety margin, and analgesic, antiseptic and antacid actions.

Key Features & Benefits:

• PEPTOSYL is a first line defence against diarrhoea and digestive disturbances in dogs.
• PEPTOSYL is Bismuth salicylate oral suspension.
• Non-antibiotic treatment for non-infectious & dietary diarrhoea.
• PEPTOSYL has gut protective, antacid, antiseptic properties, and is anti-inflammatory to control pain.

After administration, the Bismuth salicylate is converted to Bismuth carbonate and Sodium salicylate. Bismuth lines and protects the mucosal (gut lining) surface of the stomach and intestines, absorbs toxic compounds such as endotoxins, and has protective, antacid and antiseptic properties. The salicylate component is anti-inflammatory, and rapidly reduces the pain associated with gut inflammation and disturbances. The majority of canine and equine gastro-intestinal disturbances are not of bacterial origin, therefore PEPTOSYL is a safe, non-complicating treatment in most puppies and adult dogs with digestive upsets of nutritional or non-bacterial origin. Most canine gut disturbances relate to incorrect management or diet, nutrition, or stress, rather than infection.

Bentonite is a natural clay earth material with properties similar to activated charcoal. It has the ability to bind (and neutralise) bacterial endotoxins.

PEPTOSYL is indicated for the control and treatment of diarrhoea and pain associated with non-bacterial gastro-intestinal disturbance such as enteritis, gastritis, and colitis. Being non-antibiotic, PEPTOSYL does not contribute to bacterial resistance. Oral bismuth preparations are well researched in both humans and animals, and are reported to be free of toxic side effects.

INDICATIONS

PEPTOSYL has no application in the training of normal, healthy dogs, but can be used where indicated in cases of gastro-intestinal disturbance. It will not “mask” any serious veterinary problems, but will rapidly relieve the majority of gut upsets from dietary or non-infectious causes. If rapid response is not seen, seek veterinary diagnosis of the condition without delay.
