Descripción
Diarrhea is a common disorder in preweaned foals, and there are no antisecretory antidiarrheals currently available. The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of an enteric-coated paste formulation of a standardized botanical extract of the latex of Croton lechleri (SB-300) for the treatment of watery diarrhea in foals. This was a randomized blinded multisite, safety and efficacy pilot study of the formulation in client-owned foals with watery diarrhea. Sixty-one foals under 16 weeks of age with watery diarrhea were randomly divided into two treatment groups and one placebo group, approximately 20 foals each. Each foal received either placebo or investigational product/probiotic combination, four times daily. No significant safety issues were noted but the transient production of hard feces that was noticed in foals that continued therapy beyond clinical improvement. A treatment responder was any foal who developed formed stool (fecal score <3), and maintained formed stool for a minimum of 16 consecutive hours within a 24 h period. Statistically significant differences in treatment response were demonstrated at a number of time points between the investigational product treatment and placebo groups. We conclude that a paste formulation of SB-300, a standarized botanical extract of the latex of Croton lechleri, when combined with probiotics, is effective in the treatment of watery diarrhea in foals less than 16 weeks of age and warrants further investigation without the addition of probiotics.
La diarrea es un desorden común en potrillos lactantes, y no se dispone de antidiarreicos antisecretorios específicos. El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar la seguridad y eficacia de una formulación en pasta con cubierta entérica del extracto botánico estandarizado del látex de Croton lechleri (SB-300, producto en investigación), para el tratamiento de diarrea acuosa en potrillos. Fue un estudio piloto, ciego, aleatorizado, realizado en distintos sitios, en potrillos de clientes particulares con diarrea acuosa. Sesenta y un potrillos con diarrea acuosa menores a 16 semanas de edad fueron divididos aleatoriamente en dos grupos de tratamiento y uno de placebo, aproximadamente 20 en cada grupo. Cada potrillo recibió placebo o la combinación del producto en investigación y probiótico cuatro veces al día. No se presentaron problemas de seguridad significativos, pero se observó la producción transitoria de heces duras en los que continuaron la terapia luego de la resolución de la diarrea. La respuesta al tratamiento fue considerada en aquellos potrillos que desarrollaron heces formadas (score fecal <3) y mantuvieron las heces formadas durante un mínimo de 16 h consecutivas dentro de un período de 24 h. Se demostraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en la respuesta al tratamiento en distintos tiempos entre los grupos que recibieron el producto y los que recibieron placebo. La conclusión fue que la formulación en pasta de (SB-300), un extracto botánico estandarizado del látex de Croton lechleri, combinado con probióticos, es efectivo para el tratamiento de diarrea acuosa en potrillos menores de 16 semanas de edad y requiere investigaciones complementarias sin la adición del probiótico.
