Product Overview

SURPASS® (1% diclofenac sodium) Topical Anti-Inflammatory Cream is the only FDA-approved topical NSAID application in horses for the control of pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis (OA) in hock, knee, fetlock, and pastern joints in horses. Other products contain diclofenac sodium, but they don't have WISDOM™–the patented and proven multi-layered liposomal delivery technology found only in SURPASS.1,2 SURPASS penetrates the skin barrier in a way alternative products don't, targeting relief where it's needed - at the site of joint pain and inflammation1. Unlike most alternatives, SURPASS is applied only twice daily3, a much more eff­ective use of your time and eff­ort.




SURPASS® (1% diclofenac sodium) Topical Anti-Inflammatory Cream is indicated for the control of pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis (OA) in tarsal, carpal, metacarpophalangeal, metatarsophalangeal and proximal interphalangeal (hock, knee, fetlock and pastern) joints in horses.
  • SURPASS doesn’t just modify the symptoms of osteoarthritis, it also modifies the disease itself²
  • Enhanced delivery through skin barrier – via patented multi-layered liposomal delivery technology1,2
  • Sustained release of relief for 12 hours
  • Apply two times per day3 four to six times or more with other topicals labeled for humans
  • Targeted, lower drug levels for reduced systemic uptake and reduced potential for side effects3

SURPASS® (1% diclofenac sodium) Topical Anti-Inflammatory Cream contains 1% diclofenac sodium contained in the WISDOM® Liposomal formulation. Diclofenac is a prescription non-narcotic, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for the control of pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis (OA) in hock, knee, fetlock or pastern joints in horses.
Adverse reactions associated with NSAIDs may include: weight loss, colic, diarrhea, or yellowing of the gums, skin, or whites of the eyes (jaundice). Serious adverse reactions associated with this drug class can occur without warning and, in rare situations, result in death. Discontinue the use of SURPASS® (1% diclofenac sodium) Topical Anti-Inflammatory Cream and contact your veterinarian immediately if these signs are observed. The majority of patients with drug-related reactions recover when the signs are recognized, drug administration is stopped, and veterinary care, if appropriate, is initiated. Adverse reactions during the safety study included a gastric ulcer in one horse that received 5.6x the recommended dosage, diarrhea and uterine discharge in one horse that received 2.8x the recommended dosage, and weight loss in four of the six horses in the 5.6x dosage group.

Exceeding the recommended dosage or treating multiple joints may increase plasma concentrations of diclofenac. The systemic effects of excess diclofenac doses that exceed the recommended label amount and duration have not been evaluated. As a class, NSAIDs may be associated with gastrointestinal and renal toxicity. When NSAIDs inhibit prostaglandins that cause inflammation, they may also inhibit prostaglandins that maintain normal homeostatic function. These anti-prostaglandin effects may result in clinically significant disease in patients with underlying or preexisting disease more often than in healthy patients. Patients at greatest risk for renal toxicity are those that are dehydrated, on concomitant diuretic therapy, or those with renal, cardiovascular and/or hepatic dysfunction. Horses should undergo a thorough history and physical examination before initiation of NSAID therapy. Appropriate laboratory tests should be conducted to establish hematological and serum biochemical baseline data before and periodically during administration of any NSAID. Owners should be advised to observe for signs of potential drug toxicity. Studies to determine the effect of SURPASS® (1% diclofenac sodium) Topical Anti-Inflammatory Cream when administered concomitantly with other drugs have not been conducted. Since many NSAIDs possess the potential to induce gastric ulceration, concomitant use of SURPASS cream with any other anti-inflammatory drugs, such as other NSAIDs and corticosteroids, should be avoided. Drug compatibility should be monitored closely in patients receiving adjunctive therapy. SURPASS topical cream is contraindicated in animals with known hypersensitivity to diclofenac.
SURPASS® (1% diclofenac sodium) Topical Anti-Inflammatory Cream is packaged in 124-gram trilaminate tubes.

Apply a five-inch (5”) ribbon of SURPASS® (1% diclofenac sodium) Topical Anti-Inflammatory Cream twice daily over the affected joint for up to 10 days. Wear gloves to prevent absorption into the hands. Rub the cream thoroughly into the hair covering the joint until it disappears. One five inch strip is 73 mg of diclofenac.

A little goes a long way and for my 28 year old Mare, it gives her relief whenever her joints become inflamed. It's an excellent product and I am grateful that it exists. I recommend this product because I am certain that it works for good.

My horse has been on Surpass since he had an issue with his stifle joint 2 years ago. This makes a big difference to him because it makes it so much easier for him to work. It gives him ease and I am still so grateful that he is able to move around.

' It is easy to apply. I would recommend wearing a rubber glove. I think it would be very effective on any swelling around soft tissue. It takes swellings down dramatically and always leaves the horse more comfortable. I never train without it. '
