Subestin 25 microgram/ml Oral Solution for Horses – What It Does

How Subestin Works
Subestin contains clenbuterol hydrochloride, a bronchodilator. It acts on receptors in the smooth muscle of the airways. This action helps the airways relax and widen.

The medicine also supports mucociliary clearance. That means it helps the natural mechanisms that move mucus up and out of the respiratory tract. Less spasm and less mucus can make breathing easier and reduce coughing in suitable cases.

When Vets Use Subestin
Your vet may prescribe Subestin 25 microgram/ml oral solution for horses when:

• Respiratory disease involves narrowed airways
Bronchospasm is contributing to increased breathing effort and noise.

• There is a build-up of mucus in the airways
Mucus is making breathing harder and your vet wants to improve clearance.

• A bronchodilator is helpful within a wider plan
Subestin is used as a main treatment or as an add-on alongside other medicines such as anti-inflammatories, where appropriate.

Your vet will always examine your horse and consider history, workload and environment before deciding whether Subestin is the right choice.

How to Give Subestin
Subestin 25 microgram/ml oral solution for horses is given by mouth using the supplied graduated dosing syringe.

Your vet will:

• Work out the correct dose for your horse based on bodyweight

• Show you how to draw up the solution with the syringe

• Advise how often to give it and for how many days

• Explain how Subestin fits with any other medicines or management changes

Give Subestin exactly as prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop the course early unless your vet tells you to. If a dose is missed, or you are unsure your horse received it, contact your vet for advice.

Respiratory Management and Support
Subestin works best as part of a full respiratory management plan. Your vet may also recommend:

• Dust-reduced forage, such as steamed or soaked hay

• Good ventilation and reduced exposure to dusty bedding or environments

• Turnout where appropriate for the individual horse

• Planned exercise levels that match the horse’s breathing comfort

• Other medicines, such as anti-inflammatories, where indicated

These steps work together with Subestin to support more comfortable breathing and better performance.
