Arsenic is a so-called heavy metal which can be highly harmful to the horse when administered in significant amounts. When ingested orally it has been shown to cause serious and life-threatening toxic effects in the gastrointestinal tract. As a result of this toxicity, and in an attempt to protect its cells and tissues from dangerous metal poisoning, administered amounts are rapidly excreted by the horse.

Codeine is an analgesic drug used in humans for the treatment of mild to moderate pain. It is found in many readily available medication preparations, including over-the-counter tablets, capsules, powders and syrups. Be aware that many Paracetamol and Ibuprofen based preparations also contain Codeine. Codeine in itself is not considered a significant recreational drug, but its addictive properties are well-known and this is of medical concern.
