MULTI-DOSE
Solution 100 mg/mL in a 50 mL Preserved Multi-Dose Vial
For Intramuscular Use In Horses Only. Not for Intra-Articular Use.
CAUTION: Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of
a licensed
veterinarian.
DESCRIPTION:
Each mL contains Polysulfated Glycosaminoglycan (PSGAG) 100 mg, Benzyl
Alcohol
0.9% v/v as a preservative, and Water for Injection q.s. Sodium
Hydroxide and/or
Hydrochloric Acid added when necessary to adjust pH. The solution is
clear, colorless to
slightly yellow.
PHARMACOLOGY:
Polysulfated Glycosaminoglycan is chemically similar to the
glycosaminoglycans in
articular cartilage matrix. PSGAG is a potent proteolytic enzyme
inhibitor and diminishes
or reverses the pathologic processes of traumatic or degenerative
joint disease which
result in a net loss of cartilage matrix components. PSGAG improves
joint function by
reducing synovial fluid protein levels and increasing synovial fluid
hyaluronic acid
concentration in traumatized equine carpal and hock joints.
INDICATIONS:
Adequan i.m. Multi-Dose 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.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION:
PRACTICE ASEPTIC TECHNIQUES IN WITHDRAWING EACH DOSE TO DECREASE THE
POSSIBILITY OF POST-INJECTION BACTERIAL INFECTIONS. ADEQUATELY CLEAN

DISINFECT THE STOPPER PRIOR TO ENTRY WITH A STERILE NEEDLE AND
SYRINGE. USE
ONLY STERILE NEEDLES, AND USE EACH NEEDLE ONLY ONCE.
