We recommend using Vetericyn prior to the expiration date marked on the label to utilize maximum strength.

This means that Vetericyn contains no ingredients that would result in a positive blood or urine analytical test for non-permitted substances in race or show animals (if ingested or licked). Since there are no banned substances and no steroids or antibiotics, Vetericyn tests free for competitive animals.

Vetericyn Plus® Wound and Skin Care products are not and do not contain any bleach. Bleach is corrosive, toxic, will burn, generates fumes/vapors and is not safe for use on the intended applications of Vetericyn. In addition, stabilized bleach has a pH of >11 while Vetericyn Plus® products are manufactured within an appropriate physiological pH range and will not sting when applied. Vetericyn is a hypochlorous solution that is safe and non-toxic and pH balanced. Vetericyn will not harm healthy tissue in the process of cleaning and debriding wounds.

Vetericyn Plus® Liquid formula can freeze and thaw without hurting the effectiveness of the product. If a bottle was frozen you will notice leaking as a result of expansion of the formula. The bottle walls may collapse after thawing out or evidence of ice may be noticeable within the solution.

Vetericyn Plus® is to be used per label indications. Vetericyn has no known contraindications and no known negative drug interactions.  If you need to apply other remedies like fly repellents, we recommend that you apply Vetericyn first and wait at least 60 seconds before applying any other materials. After consulting or treating with Vetericyn, we recommend that you advise your healthcare professional (veterinarian) of any treatment protocol you are following in addition to those recommended by the veterinarian.  Vetericyn is not intended for use on systemic conditions.

The fact that Vetericyn Plus® does not contain antibiotics means that there is no need to be concerned about the animal building up resistance to our Vetericyn Plus® products. Antibiotic resistance is a concern in the animal industry. The repeated and extended use of Vetericyn in cleaning and debriding the wound bed has no adverse consequences. In addition, if there are regulatory limitations for use of antibiotics, those limitations do not apply to Vetericyn Plus® products.

The transfer or decanting of Vetericyn products is not recommended due to the possibility of contamination and the ingredients being neutralized by coming in contact with the new container’s materials.

Vetericyn VF formulations have a higher concentration of ingredients in comparison to OTC Vetericyn products found in stores. The Vetericyn VF formulations are only sold to licensed veterinarians and can only be obtained from such.

While there is a slight chlorine odor, there is a proprietary amount of Free Active Chlorine (FAC) measured in parts per million which is not significant enough to cause stinging when applied.
