Description:
Spiropent (4-amino-alpha-[(tert-butylamino) methyl]-3, 5-dichlorobenzyl alcohol hydrochloride) is a beta-2-adrenergic agonist which provides bronchodilating properties as well as other effects, with minimum effect on the cardiovascular system. It is provided as a colorless, palatable syrup. Spiropent Syrup (clenbuterol hydrochloride) is antagonized by beta-adrenergic blocking agents.
Indications:
Spiropent Syrup (clenbuterol hydrochloride) is indicated for the management of horses affected with airway obstruction, such as occurs in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Contraindications:
Spiropent Syrup antagonizes the effects of prostaglandin F2 alpha and oxytocin. Spiropent Syrup should not be used in pregnant mares near term. Because tachycardia may occur, Spiropent Syrup should not be used in horses suspected of having cardiovascular impairment.
Warning:
The effect on reproduction in breeding stallions and brood mares has not been determined. Treatment starting with dosages higher than the initial dose is not recommended.
Human Warnings:
Not for human use. Do not use in horses intended for human consumption. Keep out of the reach of children. In case of accidental ingestion, contact a physician immediately. Ingestion of Spiropent Syrup may cause undesirable reactions. Spiropent, like other beta adrenergic agonists, can produce significant cardiovascular effects in some people as evidenced by elevated pulse rate, blood pressure changes and/or ECG changes.
Dosage and Administration:
Administer orally twice a day (b.i.d.). Initial dose is 0.5 mL/100 lbs body weight (0.8 mcg/kg) twice daily.

If signs return, the 30-day treatment regimen may be repeated. If repeating treatment, the step-wise dosage schedule should be repeated.
