Equiphen® (phenylbutazone)
Luitpold
Apple Flavored Paste rx
12 Gram Paste
Description:
Equiphen Paste (Phenylbutazone) is a synthetic, non-hormonal, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic compound useful in the management of inflammatory conditions. The apparent analgesic effect is probably related mainly to the anti-inflammatory properties of the compound.
Chemically, phenylbutazone is 4-butyl-1, 2-diphenyl-3, 5-pyrazolidine-dione. It is a pyrazolone derivative, entirely unrelated to the steroid hormones.
Indications:
For the relief of inflammatory conditions associated with the musculoskeletal system in horses.
Contraindications:
Use with caution in patients who have a history of drug allergy.
Precautions:
Stop medicine at the first sign of gastrointestinal upset, jaundice, or blood dyscrasia. Authenticated cases of agranulocytosis associated with the drug have occurred in man; fatal reactions, although rare, have been reported in dogs after long-term therapy. To guard against this possibility, conduct routine blood counts at weekly intervals during the early phase of therapy and at intervals of two weeks thereafter. Any significant fall in the total white count, relative decrease in granulocytes, or black or tarry stools, should be regarded as a signal of appropriate counter measures. In the treatment of inflammatory conditions associated with infections, specific anti-infective therapy is required.
Dosage and Administration:
Each increment on the plunger delivers 1 gram of phenylbutazone. Oral dose of 1 to 2 grams of phenylbutazone per 500 lbs. of body weight, but not to exceed 4 grams daily. Use a relatively high dose for the first 48 hours, then reduce gradually to a maintenance dose. Maintain lowest dose capable of producing desired clinical response.
Guidelines to Successful Therapy:
1) Use a relatively high dose for the first 48 hours, then reduce gradually to a maintenance dose. Maintain lowest dose capable of producing desired clinical response.
2) Response to EQUIPHEN PASTE (PHENYLBUTAZONE) therapy is prompt, usually occurring within 24 hours. If no significant clinical response is evident after 5 days, re-evaluate diagnosis and therapeutic approach.
3) When administering EQUIPHEN PASTE (PHENYLBUTAZONE) the oral cavity should be empty. Deposit paste on back of tongue by depressing plunger that has been previously set to deliver the correct dose.
4) Many chronic conditons will respond to EQUIPHEN PASTE (PHENYLBUTAZONE) therapy, but discontinuance of treatment may result in recurrence of symptoms.
Warning:
Not for use in horses intended for food.
Storage:
Store at controlled room temperature (59-86 F)
