Hi Pamela,
My apologies for the very late reply.
DADA 250 is a vasodilator, in other words it has some effect of slightly increasing the diameter of some blood vessels, and in the process allows an increased blood flow to the muscle tissue. It also appears to have a detoxifying effect, particularly of some of the waste products produced by stressful exercise.
It may therefore be beneficial to some greyhounds when given prior to racing to increase blood flow, and after racing to assist in recovery.
In regard to recovery it appears to be more effective if at the same time the greyhound is supplied with the amino acids Lycine and Arginine.
The normal dose of DADA 250 is 1 ml, and this must be injected into the muscle tissue, and should never be injected under the skin. If it is to be used pre-race, the best idea would be to inject 1 ml into a chest muscle 24 hours prior to racing.
When given 24 hours prior the product is not detectable in a swab at this time.
I'm not aware of any disadvantages to the use of DADA 250, unless it is injected badly causing pain or bruising at the injection site, but then that applies to all intramuscular injections.
Cheers, Tom

Hi James,
Other than sustenance in the way of an energy drink to replace lost energy such as Sustagen there not a lot you can do prior to and in between courses. Injections of anything exceeding 1 ml intramuscular should be given a minimum of 24 hours and preferably 48 hours prior to strenuous exercise, and in that regard Tridenosen is still the best combination of ingredients for that purpose.
Cheers, Tom

i was told to give dada250 7 days before a race behind the ear do you know of this way Sorry John, but I would say a definite and emphatic no to that one as the structures in that area are not suitable for a intramuscular injection, especially not DADA250. It's a fact that many injectable substances cause pain or even burning at the injection site, and could you imagine you yourself being injected behind the ear? I am aware however that piglets and cattle are often injected about 70 to 80mm behind the ear but that is primarily done in that area so that any meat that may be used from the animal does not sustain any damage from the injection, and while this may work OK for piglets and cattle it's certainly not a good site to inject a racing greyhound as again that area would be extremely painful to inject into for a dog and may cause nerve damage if done badly. Cheers, Tom

Hi John,
As the quantity is only 1ml the area least likely to cause problems is in the side of the chest muscle 24 hours prior.
Cheers, Tom

how many ml for pigeons pls? Sorry Loo while im not into racing pigeons I’m pretty certain that DADA 250 is not suitable for injecting into pigeons as the dosage of the drug in that formula is just too high no matter how small the injected amount is. This Google page should provide links to more information about injecting pigeons Injectables for Racing Pigeons
