Adequan Equine is recommended for the intramuscular treatment of non-infectious degenerative and/or traumatic joint dysfunction and associated lameness of the carpal and hock joints in horses. Adequan Equine (polysulfated glycosaminoglycan) is the only FDA-approved treatment proven to relieve symptoms of non-infectious degenerative osteoarthritis, to stimulate cartilage repair, and reverse the joint disease process. There is no generic version of Adequan Equine.

For:

Horses

Benefits:

  • Non-infectious degenerative joint dysfunction in horses
  • Traumatic joint dysfunction in horses
  • Associated lameness of the carpal and hock joints in horses

How it works:

Adequan inhibits enzymes that break down cartilage within your horse's joints. It reduces inflammation and increases the thickness of joint (synovial) fluid.

Storage:

Store Adequan at 68° - 77°F (20° - 25°C) excursions permitted to 59° - 86° (15° - 30°C). Keep this medication out of the reach of children and pets.

How to Use:

  • The recommended dose of Adequan Equine in horses is 500 mg every 4 days for 28 days intramuscularly.
  • The injection site must be thoroughly cleansed prior to injection.
  • Do not mix Adequan Equine with other drugs or solvents.

Each 5 milliliters of Adequan Equine contains 500 mg of Polysulfated Glycosaminoglycan and Water for Injection q.s. Sodium Hydroxide and/or Hydrochloric Acid added when necessary to adjust pH.
Sodium Chloride may be added to adjust tonicity.
Polysulfated glycosaminoglycan is a naturally-occurring complex molecule that is the essential building block of the cartilage matrix.
Adequan travels into injured joints and stimulates production of new cartilage while relieving the symptoms of non-infectious degenerative joint disease.

Cautions:

Studies have not been conducted to establish safety in breeding horses. Do not use in horses intended for human consumption. Not for use in humans. Keep this and all medications out of the reach of children. Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian.
