Vet Synapse 2023 – Pro-Kolin with Dr Benjamin Sofaer (ADM Protexin)

About this Episode

In this episode of Vet synapse, we chat with Dr. Benjamin Sofaer, from ADM Protexin, about a truly unique therapy for management of diarrhoea in dogs called “Pro-Kolin” – which contains not only pre-biotics, but pro-biotics, as well as kaolin and Pectin. It’s a clinically proven therapy for many cases of diarrhoea in both dogs and cats – which can lead to resolution of diarrhoea up to 24 hrs earlier than in control patients.

The world of pharmaceuticals is ever-changing – so much so that it can be hard to keep up sometimes! That’s why Vet Education has produced a new short-form podcast segment called “Up To Date with Industry” – highlighting the latest news from the world of pharmaceutical therapies for our patients!

Each 15-20 minute episode will highlight a specific therapeutic – detailing mechanism of action, indications, side effects, contraindications and supporting scientific literature – together with answers to frequently asked questions – so you can stay up to date! What’s more, we’ll also include product information, and associated scientific literature in a downloadable PDF – so you can easily reference more information should you need it!
