How to Order Prescriptions

---

Description

• For IM Injection - Used to control signs of osteoarthritis (Hip Dysplasia). 5ml vial.
• 100mg/ml (500mg per bottle).

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.
