Description

Vitamin K is a cofactor in the post-Ribosomal synthesis of clotting factors including factor II (prothrombin, VII (proconvertin), IX (plasma thromboplastin component) and X (Start factor), as well as of proteins C and    So that are involved in the production and inhibition of thrombin. Vitamin K hypovitaminosis results in hypoprothrombinemia, which in turn leads to prolonged bleeding, large hematomata and the development of severe hemorrhagic anemia and hemolytic jaundice. Menadione (synthetic vitamin K3) is absorbed by diffusion in the distal portions of the small intestine and colon, and metabolized to the diol (hydroquinone) form and excreted as glucuronide and sulphate conjugates.

Suggested Use:

HerriKion K3 20 % is indicated in the treatment and prevention of hemorrhages associated with vitamin K deficiency or intestinal parasitic infections such as coccidiosis, and as an antagonist for anticoagulant poisoning (e.g. due to rodenticide toxicity, sweet clover poisoning or treatment with sulfaquinoxaline) in calves, cattle, goats, poultry, sheep and swine.
 

Side effects:

Overdosage of menadione may result in anaemia, polycythemia, splenomegaly, renal and hepatic damage and, in extremely rare cases, death.
