Properties:
C-P contains sources of calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium and dextrose.
It is a complete therapy for the treatment of simple and complicated cases of parturient paresis and hypomagnesemic tetany in cattle. Calcium and magnesium directly restore cow’s serum levels to avoid muscular and nervous damage. Also, magnesium protects against myocardial irritation caused by calcium administration. Sodium and potassium maintain cell membrane potential and influence nerve transmission and muscle function. Dextrose is a source of energy.
