Adequan® i.m. (polysulfated glycosaminoglycan) is available only in an injectable, prescription form dispensed by licensed veterinarians. The recommended dose is 500 mg intramuscularly every four days for 28 days.

Studies have shown that two hours after the first Adequan® i.m. injection, beneficial levels are reached in the joint and therapeutic levels are present for up to 96 hours. To achieve maximum benefit of blocking cartilage destruction and stimulating joint repair processes, make sure your horse receives the entire seven doses recommended by your veterinarian.
