DESCRIPTION:

Salix Tablets are useful in treating heart failure and lung fluid (pulmonary edema). Containing Furosemide, these tablets are also frequently used to correct electrolyte imbalances, including high calcium or potassium.

Key Benefits:

  • The excess salt and water are then eliminated from the animal's body via urine.

    How is Medication Given? Administer 1 to 2 times each day. Allow 6-8 hours between each treatment. If treating a severe or refractory edematous case, double the dose or increase by 1 mg per pound increments.

  • Provides rapid relief of edema because of diuretic-saluretic properties
