Vapcolax UAE 101g | Laxative, Appetite Stimulant & Anti-Acid Powder for Camels, Cattle, Sheep & Goats

Vapcolax UAE buyers are usually dealing with the same few problems: an animal that has over-eaten, a rumen gone sour, a camel that has stopped passing dung, or a goat that has lost its appetite after chewing on something it should not have. Vapcolax from VAPCO is a water-dispersible powder, sold as a 101 g sachet, made for exactly these digestive upsets. Each sachet combines magnesium carbonate, sodium carbonate and a small amount of nux vomica, giving three actions in one mix: a laxative and anti-acid effect, a stomach and intestinal stimulant effect, and a detoxicant effect. It is labelled for camels, cattle, calves, sheep and goats, and the pack carries a UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment registration number, AUP-APH-10-2683564.

Key Features

• Water-dispersible powder that mixes into drinking water for drenching or stomach tube use

• 101 g sachet, a ready-measured dose for a large animal

Product Specifications

What Vapcolax Is Used For

The label lists four main indications. Each one is a common problem on UAE camel, cattle and small-ruminant farms:

• Impaction due to over-feeding
• Indigestion, tympanitis (bloat), acidosis and loss of appetite
• Intoxication due to grazing on poisonous or rotten plants
• Constipation and atony (weak movement) of the digestive tract

How Vapcolax Works

Magnesium carbonate does two jobs. It neutralises excess acid, and magnesium salts also draw water into the intestine, which softens impacted contents and helps them move. Sodium carbonate is an alkalising agent that helps bring down an overly acidic rumen, the situation behind acidosis after a heavy grain or concentrate meal. Nux vomica is included in a very small amount, 1 g per sachet, for its traditional use as a bitter stomachic that stimulates appetite and gut movement. Together they treat the blockage, the acid and the sluggish gut at the same time, instead of leaving you to manage them one product at a time.

Dosage Guide (As Printed on the Label)

Mix thoroughly and shake the mixture well before application. These are the amounts printed on the pack; your veterinarian should confirm the right dose for the individual animal’s size, age and condition.

Who Is It For?

• Camel owners and racing camel stables managing impaction, constipation or feed-related digestive upsets
• Dairy and beef cattle farms dealing with over-feeding, bloat or rumen acidosis
• Sheep and goat flocks affected by indigestion, loss of appetite or suspected plant intoxication
• Veterinarians and farm managers who want a ready-measured digestive powder in stock

Directions & Safety

For veterinary use only. Mix the powder thoroughly in the stated volume of drinking water, shake before use, and give as a drench or through a stomach tube. Drenching should be done by someone trained, with the animal’s head held in a natural position, and never forced if the animal cannot swallow. The label states that Vapcolax should not be recommended in cases of strychnine poisoning. The pack does not state a withdrawal period, so ask your veterinarian before using it in animals producing milk or meat for human consumption. Do not use after the expiry date; the manufacturer is not liable for misuse or use after expiry. Store in a dry, dark place below 30 °C, which in the UAE means keeping it out of hot store rooms, sheds and vehicles.
