Pulmo-Clear

Pulmo-Clear is an aid for the treatment of ELRD (Equine Lower Respiratory Disease).

We have been made aware of by numerous Veterinarians that they used Pulmo-Clear off label for the treatment of Dogs and Cats with Cancer and Arthritis with amazing success.

Efficacy studies demonstrate that Pulmo-Clear, when used with adjunctive therapy, successfully clears Equine Lower Respiratory Desease (ELRD), leading to increased recovery rates and reduce recovery times in affected horses*. In fact, combined data from field studies show that Pulmo-Clear helps promote an overall ELRD recovery rate as high as 86 percent*.





To address the faulty or improper immune response to the agents that cause ELRD, Pulmo-Clear works to modulate the immune system - allowing the horse improved recovery from the clinical conditions associated with the disease.

Note: The addition of Pulmo-Clear to antimicrobial therapy increased the recovery rate from 37.5% to 77.5%.

In dose response studies, endoscopic scores were part of clinical evaluations for each presenting horse. A diagnosis of lower airway disease was based upon history, clinical examination and endoscopic findings of exudates in the trachea. An endoscopic score was used to describe the amount, physical characteristics, and location of the tracheal exudates. Higher endoscopic scores indicated more severe disease.

Contraindication: Corticosteroids and other drugs which may cause immunosuppression are not recommended for use with this product.

Directions: Store at 2° to 7° C. Do not freeze. Use entire contents when first opened. Do not vaccinate within 21 days before slaughter.

Precautions: Anaphylactoid reaction may occur following administration of products of this nature. If noted, administer adrenalin or equivalent.

In the event of accidental human exposure, consult a physician.

Dosage and Administration:
Inject one 2ml. dose deep intramuscularly in the neck. Repeat this dose in 7-10 days in the opposite side of the neck. Moderate exercise aids in preventing or reducing local reaction. Discontinue use if a severe local reaction occurs.

Pulmo-Clear is restricted to use by or under the direction of a Veterinarian.

Pulmo-Clear is a biological product.

General Information:
This product is a patented sterile filtered fraction of serum from pre-tested goats. Fraction is purified and standardized to assure uniformity of product. Response in treated horses is of an immunomodulating nature.

Directions when to vaccinate:
Do not vaccinate within 21 days before slaughter.

Precautions:
A systemic anaphylactic reaction is always possible after administration of a product of this nature. Discontinue use of this product and administer adrenalin or equivalent if an anaphylactic reaction occurs.

Protein-containing serum origin products may cause local reactions. These can include local swelling with increased heat at the injection site. Studies have demonstrated that these reactions are transient and usually recede within 48-72 hours. Rarely they may last longer. Moderate exercise aids in preventing or reducing local reaction. Discontinue use if a severe local reaction occurs.

Indications and Information:
Proper diagnosis, selection of treatment modalities, and follow-up examinations for Lower Respiratory Disease in equines require veterinary expertise. Therefore, it is recommended that Pulmo-Clear be used by or under the supervision of a veterinarian.

Pulmo-Clear is recommended for use as an aid in combination with adjunctive therapy in treatment of horses with lower respiratory disease. This problem often occurs in athletic horses involved in racing, rodeo, jumping, endurance and other stressful exercise. When horses become ill, performance is reduced and they are usually removed from competition, often for an extended time period.

Efficacy testing included evaluation of recovery as measured by improvement in clinical signs and reduction and/or elimination of exudate of the trachea and lower respiratory tract by bronchoscope exam. These tests demonstrated a significant reduction in recovery time for horses receiving Pulmo-Clear and adjunctive therapy when compared with horses receiving only adjunctive therapy.

Field safety testing included groups of horses from 6 months to 15 years of age.

Contraindication:
Corticosteroids and other drugs which may cause immunosuppression are not recommended for use with this product.
