Vey Tosal 100 mg/ml + 0.05 mg/ml solution for injection for horses, cattle, dogs and cats and associated names

Vey Tosal is a veterinary medicine available as solution for injection and contains 100 mg of butafosfan per ml and 0.05 mg of cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) per ml as active substances. Vey Tosal is used in horses, cattle, dogs and cats as supportive treatment for metabolic or reproductive disorders when supplementation of phosphorus and vitamin B12 is needed. In case of metabolic disorders occurring around the time of giving birth, or in case of tetany (muscle spasm and twitching caused by deficiency of salts) or paresis (milk fever), this medicine should be administered in addition to magnesium and calcium, respectively. It may be used also to support muscle function in the presence of deficiencies of phosphorus and/or vitamin B12.

This veterinary medicine can be administered intravenously in cattle and horses and intravenously, intramuscularly and subcutaneously in dogs and cats.

Vey Tosal was developed as a ‘hybrid medicine’ which means that it is similar to a ‘reference medicine’ that is already authorised in the EU, containing the same active substances. However, the therapeutic indication and routes of administration for Vey Tosal are different compared to the reference medicine called Catosal. In addition, Vey Tosal contains a different excipient (ingredient of a medicine other than the active substance).
