Pharmacological properties
Biologically active feed additive.Β It acts as a corrector of metabolic disorders of bone and connective tissue, has a chondroprotective and anti-inflammatory effect, stimulates the regeneration of cartilage tissue, and replenishes calcium deficiency.Β Thanks to an optimally balanced mixture of collagen hydrolyzate, vitamins and minerals, it has a positive effect on cartilage, bone tissue, ligamentous apparatus, the condition of the skin, coat and general metabolism of the dog, contributes to the rapid adaptation of dogs to physical activity.Β Collagen hydrolyzate is a mixture of collagen peptides, oligopeptides and amino acids that has a biogenic effect on tissue cells of the musculoskeletal system: bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons and muscles.Β Collagen hydrolyzate forms and maintains the structure of the cartilage and bone matrix,Β ensures its strength, increases its shock-absorbing capabilities, normalizes calcium deposition in bone tissue, inhibits the progression of degenerative processes in the joints, has anti-inflammatory, antiexudative and antiproliferative effects, helps to restore joint functions and the disappearance of pain.Β Calcium is necessary for the formation of bone and cartilage tissue, blood coagulation, transmission of nerve impulses, contraction of skeletal and smooth muscles, heart activity.Β Calcium reduces the permeability of cell membranes and the vascular wall, prevents the development of inflammatory reactions, increases the body’s resistance to infections and can significantly increase phagocytosis.Β Phosphorus is necessary for the formation of bone tissue, since the main bone mineral is hydroxyapatite, which includes both calcium,Β and phosphorus.Β Therefore, the exchange of these two elements is inseparable from each other, disturbances in the exchange of one inevitably entail disturbances in the exchange of the other.Β It is especially necessary to maintain the correct ratio between calcium and phosphorus in the diet.Β Magnesium is involved in the transfer, storage and utilization of energy, protein and nucleic acid synthesis, and a number of mitochondrial processes.Β It is a cofactor of many mitochondrial reactions: hydrolysis and transfer of the phosphate group, the functioning of the Na + -K + -ATPase, Ca2 + -ATPase and proton pumps.Β Controls the balance of intracellular potassium.Β Inhibits platelet aggregation, including thrombin-induced, reducing the synthesis of thromboxane B2.Β Sodium is the body’s primary electrolyte.Β Maintains water and electrolyte balance, both of individual cells and the body as a whole,Β supports the normal activity of the cardiovascular system, improves the quality of muscle contractions.Β Potassium activates many cytoplasmic enzymes, regulates intracellular osmotic pressure, protein synthesis, transport of amino acids, conduction of nerve impulses, and contraction of skeletal muscles.Β Vitamin C is an important metabolite, a regulator of redox processes, and an antioxidant.Β It regulates the transport of hydrogen in many biochemical reactions, improves the use of glucose in the tricarboxylic acid cycle, participates in the formation of tetrahydrofolic acid and tissue regeneration, the synthesis of steroid hormones, collagen, procollagen.Β Maintains the colloidal state of the intercellular substance and normal capillary permeability (inhibits hyaluronidase).Β Activates proteolytic enzymes,Β participates in the exchange of aromatic amino acids, pigments and cholesterol, promotes the accumulation of glycogen in the liver.Β Due to the activation of respiratory enzymes in the liver, it enhances its detoxification and protein-forming functions, increases the synthesis of prothrombin.Β Improves bile secretion, restores the exocrine function of the pancreas and the insecretory function of the thyroid gland.Β Regulates immunological reactions (activates the synthesis of antibodies, C3-component of complement, interferon), promotes phagocytosis, increases the body’s resistance to infections.Β It has anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects.Β It inhibits the release and accelerates the degradation of histamine, inhibits the formation of prostaglandins and other mediators of inflammation and anaphylaxis.Β Ξ²-carotene in the dog’s body undergoes biotransformation with the formation of vitamin A.Β Vitamin A is essential for the formation and growth of bone, testicular, ovarian tissue.Β Provides the transition of opsin to rhodopsin – a pigment that provides night vision.Β Promotes the normal development of the embryo, regulates the differentiation of epithelial tissue, is a cofactor in many biochemical reactions.Β It is possible to use Gelakan together with other correctors of bone and cartilage tissue metabolism, steroid and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as analgesics.
Indications
Additional treatment of various pathologies of the musculoskeletal system in dogs aged from 9 months (in the treatment of severe pathologies of the musculoskeletal system, it is possible to use it from 45 days of age).Β Prevention of diseases of the musculoskeletal system of dogs, especially large breeds and those with a cylindrical body;Β arthrodiet for aging dogs of all breeds in order to prolong active life.
Doses and method of administration
The drug is administered orally, previously dissolved in water, along with the usual animal feed or as a drink.Β The daily dose depends on the dog’s body weight, the type of feeding, indications and physical condition of the dogs and is 0.13-0.39 g (powder) or 0.5-1.5 ml (solution) per 1 kg of dog’s body weight.Β The daily dose can be divided by the number of feedings, or given in one dose.Β The drug is used daily.Β The preventive course is 2 months.Β It is necessary to repeat the course 2-3 times a year.Β In the treatment of severe pathologies of the musculoskeletal system, it is possible to continuously use Gelakan Darling.Β To facilitate the dosage of the drug, use the manufacturer’s measuring spoons (located inside each jar).Β The required dosage, depending on the weight of the animal, is determined by the table on the label of each can.Β Before use, the required amount of powder is completely dissolved in water or other liquid (broth, kefir, etc.).Β It should be introduced into the diet gradually over 7-14 days.Β The use of the drug should be started from 1 / 8-1 / 14 of the prescribed dose, gradually increasing the daily dose to normal.Β It is given along with the usual animal feed or as a drink.
