Rx Adequan (Canine) 100mg/ml x 5ml vial

Adequan Canine (polysulfated glycosaminoglycan) is a prescription, water-based, intramuscular, polysulfated glycosaminoglycan (PSGAG) that helps prevent the cartilage in your dog's joint from wearing away. It helps keep the cartilage healthy and intact, so that the bone in the joint cannot touch other bones. No other drug for arthritis can do that. Adequan Canine is recommended for intramuscular injection for the control of signs associated with non-infectious degenerative and/or traumatic arthritis of canine synovial joints. Prescription items are NON-RETURNABLE and NON-REFUNDABLE. - CAUTIONS/WARNINGS:Caution: Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian. Precaution: Use with caution in dogs with renal or hepatic impairment. Do not use in dogs showing hypersensitivity to PSGAG. PSGAG is a synthetic heparinoid: do not use in dogs with known or suspected bleeding disorders. - DIRECTIONS:Dosage and Administration: The recommended dose of Adequan Canine is 2mg/lb body weight (.02 mL/lb or 1 mL per 50lb), by intramuscular injection only, twice weekly for up to 4 weeks (maximum of 8 injections). Do not exceed the recommended dose or therapeutic regimen. Do not mix Adequan Canine with other drugs or solvents. How it works: Adequan Canine (polysulfated glycosaminoglycan) is administered two times a week for four weeks. The drug is injected intramuscularly to ensure it reaches the critical parts of the joint. It goes to work in the joint in about two hours and stays in the joint for about three days. With Adequan Canine you should see signs of improvement within four weeks. Your dog may begin to act like the playful, active dog you remember. - STORAGE/DISPOSAL REQ:Store at 20-25 degress C (68-77 F); excursions permitted to 15-30 degrees C (59-86 F) - HEIGHT(INCHES): 1.600 - WIDTH(INCHES):0.800 - LENGTH(INCHES):0.800
