Dosage and Administration:
Intravenous-4 ml (40 mg). Intra-articular-2 ml (20 mg) in the carpus or fetlock. Treatment may be repeated at weekly intervals for a total of three treatments.
Strict aseptic technique should be observed when administering by intra-articular injection. As with any intra-articular procedure, proper injection site disinfection and animal restraint are important. Excess joint fluid should be aseptically removed prior to injection. Care should be taken to avoid scratching the cartilage surface with the tip of the injection needle. Diffuse swelling lasting 24 to 48 hours may result from movement of the needle while in the joint space.
For intravenous administration,
use aseptic technique and inject slowly into the jugular vein.
Horses should be given stall rest after treatment before gradually resuming normal activity.
