Dosage and Administration: The recommended dosage of EQUIOXX (firocoxib) for oral administration in horses is 0.045 mg/lb (0.1 mg/kg) of body weight once daily for up to14 days. In target animal safety studies, toxicity was seen at the recommended dose when the duration of treatment exceeded 30 days.

 

Each marking on the syringe will treat 250 pounds of body weight, and each notch corresponds to approximately a 50 Ib weight increment. To deliver the correct dose, round the horse's body weight up to the nearest 50 pound increment (if the body weight is an exact 50 pound increment, do not round up).

 

Unlock the knurled ring on the syringe plunger by rotating it 1/4 turn. Slide the knurled ring along the plunger shaft so that the side nearest the barrel is at the appropriate 50 Ib weight notch. Rotate the plunger ring 1/4 turn to lock it in place and ensure it is locked. EQUIOXX may be given with or without food.
