Typically, their treatment includes frequent systemic administration of drugs.
Flexineb E3 is so effective because the size of the particles of the aerosol is critical to getting it to where it needs to be
- in your horses LOWER respiratory tract. The average particle size from the ultrasonic nebuliser is 4 microns for optimum penetration into the small airways.
Flexineb produces 71% of aerosol particles to the size required for the lower respiratory tract.
The remaining 29% hit the upper respiratory tract & trachea. Most other nebuliser companies wont tell you how much aerosol gets to the lower lung.
Additionally Flexineb can be used to administer metered-dose inhalants using the MDI system. Treatment can be completed

Because dope & drug testing is done at a molecular level these days, you cannot afford to have any carry-over of a banned substances when preparing an animal for a competitions or racing. That means hygiene and cleanliness are paramount to avoid costly and embarrassing mistakes being made. To lessen the risk even further, we recommend using different coloured masks for different types of inhalant.
We suggest, therefore, that the green mask be reserved for inhalants and therapies that do not have a withholding period. Store the Green Mask and the associated med
cups with only those inhalants. The system still needs to be maintained hygienically, but provided everyone (stable hands included) plays the game, there will not
be any embarrassing cross contamination and hence disqualifications and subsequent penalties. Mistakes will still occur of course but you will have done as much as
you can to minimise the risk.
You will need regular training of, and reminders to, all staff to maintain the standard.
You can then use the other coloured masks (Blue and Pink) with other medication groups as you deem necessary. It is all about careful medication administration pre competition and giving your stable hands a very clear visual prompt as to which system to use.
We recommend that you regularly consult your veterinarian for advice regarding diagnosis and treatment protocol for your horse.
The standard cup will nebulise most medications.
If used with high viscosity oily type drugs it can lead to slow delivery time and/or failure to nebulise.
If used with low viscosity (watery) drugs the Fast medication cup can produce large aerosol droplets leading to pools of medication wasted in the bottom
of the mask chamber.
Please note: the following are NOT to be nebulised with Flexineb; AZIUM, VET ONE DEX, VEDCO DEX, DUPHACORT, RESPRADIL, VETADINE, BROMINE, MILTON / BLEACH, COLLOIDAL SILVER, DE-IONISED WATER, or IONISED WATER
