NEUTRADEX is limited in its use to the post-race period. Although it is helpful in counteracting dehydration by stimulating the desire to drink, it is not as effective as RECHARGE in meeting electrolyte needs and promoting fluid replacement and electrolyte balance after travelling or racing.
NEUTRADEX should not be given within the 24-36 hours prior to racing, although it may be given after the last trial or hard gallop before a race. Alkalinisation of the urine may increase the outflow of potassium salt and the flushing effect may eliminate other pre-race supplements of iron and B complex vitamins and reduce their retention time in the body.
