COMPOSITION
Each ml contains:

Vitamin E(dl-u-tocopherol acetate) 20mg
Spectrum of activity
Vitamin A plays an important role in the protection of the epithelial tissues (including skin and retina) and the mucous membranes, and therefore as a protection against general infections. (Deficiency symptoms are hyperkeratosis (skin), xerophthalmia, blindness, nervous symptoms, decreased growth rates and lowered fertility).
Vitamin D takes care of the regular process of the calcium-phosphorous metabolism. It plays also a role in increasing the rate of 3Ca++ absorption and transport from the intestine and so promoting calcification of bone. (Deficiency symptoms are rickets in young animals, osteomalacia in adults). Vitamin E possesses antioxidant action, this action links vitamin E with vitamin Ametabolism (it is used for the stabilizing of vitamin A in foodstuffs) and with that of the unsaturated fatty acids. (Deficiencysymptoms are muscular disorders e.g. White Muscle Disease, Stiff Lamb Disease).
Vitamin E belongs to the group of fat-soluble vitamins. The tocopherols are important physiological antioxidants. Vitamin Eprotects the unsaturated fatty acids (e.g. lipids of the cytoplasmic and mitochondrial membranes) against oxidation. Besides its importance as antioxidant, vitamin E stimulates the formation of prostaglandin E from arachidonic acid and hinders blood coagulation. In its protective function for leucocytes and macrophages, it ensures phagocytosis and stimulates the immune response. Deficiency of vitamin E may cause nutritional diseases as muscle dystrophy, exudative diathesis, encephalomalacia, and liver necrosis.
After injection the vitamins are quickly and completely absorbed and besides a rapid therapeutic effect, this preparation has a lasting prophylactic action due to the high concentration of vitamin A and D .
