Because Adequan® (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.
How does it work?
It 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
Cautions
Adequan Canine should be used with caution in dogs with renal or hepatic impairment. Possible side effects (pain at injection site, diarrhea and abnormal bleeding) were mild, transient and self-limiting. Safety studies of PSGAG in breeding, pregnant or lactating dogs have not been conducted.
