What is Butaphosphan + Vitamin B12?
Active Ingredients: Butaphosphan, Vitamin B12
Butaphosphan + Vitamin B12 Injection is used as an immune stimulant and to treat phosphorus deficiencies in many types of animals, including horses, rabbits, poultry, and livestock such as cows, sheep, and goats. These deficiencies might be caused by many reasons, such as anorexia, lactation, stress, or overexertion.
This drug is prescribed for the treatment of many conditions, such as, tetanus, paresis, and metabolic disorders. It is sometimes used to improve muscle performance in animals like racing horses, and it is also used to increase milk production in dairy cows.
Butaphosphan is an organic compound that is a type of phosphonous acid. Vitamin B12 is also known as cyanocobalamin or cobalamin. These compounds are thought to have a synergistic effect and are essential components necessary for many physiological systems within the body.
Butaphosphan in combination with Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) acts as a metabolic stimulant, roborant, and tonic. Butaphosphan acts as an anabolic agent and is included in the stimulation process of the transformation of food into living tissue. Vitamin B12 is included in the metabolic processes in the body including proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. It also promotes the formation and maturation of red blood cells in the body. These compounds improve the availability of energy and assist in balancing mineral disorders.
Butaphosphan is quickly absorbed at the injection site and it is distributed quickly after intramuscular or subcutaneous administration. It is distributed rapidly to tissues with high metabolic activity like the liver, kidneys, and muscles. It is metabolized by the liver and it participates in various metabolic processes like synthesis and degradation of amino acids. It is excreted through kidneys in urine and the elimination half-life is relatively short.
Vitamin B12 is also rapidly absorbed at the injection site through the bloodstream. It binds to plasma proteins and is transported to tissues. The liver serves as a storage site for this vitamin. This vitamin is also distributed to other tissues like the bone marrow. It acts as a coenzyme in various metabolic pathways and is involved in DNA synthesis and red blood cell production. This vitamin is excreted through bile, and is reabsorbed in the enterohepatic circulation. The excess of this vitamin is excreted in the urine, and it has a longer half-life compared to Butaphosphan due to its storage in the liver and its role in long-term metabolic functions.
It is important to note that Butaphosphan + Vitamin B12 Injection is for veterinary purposes only. This medicine should be prescribed by a veterinary doctor or animal care specialist.
