Treatment of respiratory disease in horses where airway obstruction due to bronchospasm and/or accumulation of mucus is a contributing factor, and improved mucociliary clearance is desirable. To be used alone or as adjuvant therapy.
In particular:
1.Acute, sub-acute and chronic infections where the presence of mucus and/or micro-organisms may stimulate bronchospasm or cause airway obstruction and thus increase airway resistance. For example, bronchitis, bronchiolitis and bronchopneumonia alone, or associated with equine influenza and other viral respiratory diseases.
2.Acute, sub-acute and chronic respiratory allergies.
3.Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
In cases accompanied by bacterial infection the administration of antimicrobial agents is recommended.

Q & A
- Q. Whats the withdrawal for racing?
- A.
According to the EHSLC, the Detection Time for oral clenbuterol (Ventipulmin) is 312 hours after last administration. Please note, however, that this is an average value, and some horses will metabolise it more slowly, and so have a longer DT.
The Withdrawal Time will be greater than this; the WT is determined by the prescribing veterinary surgeon, who knows the horse's medical history and can therefore make a more accurate assessment.
