A horse’s joints often need medical support in order to relieve the pain and inflammation associated with equine osteoarthritis. Equine osteoarthritis can happen in any age and any discipline due to everyday wear and tear. It is permanent and can lead to early retirement and quality of life issues in horses.

 

EQUIOXX is a COXIB class non-steroidal anti-inflammatory for horses that helps to manage the roller-coaster effect of pain and pain relief that can occur with other products which might require multiple daily dosing.

 

EQUIOXX is available in two formulations: paste and tablet. EQUIOXX tablets are small and palatable enough to be hand-fed with or without feed. EQUIOXX paste provides more accurate dosing by weight for smaller horses or competition horses subject to testing.

 

As with any prescription medication, prior to use, a veterinarian should perform a physical examination and review the horse’s medical history. A veterinarian should advise horse owners to observe for signs of potential drug toxicity. Use with other NSAIDs, corticosteroids or nephrotoxic medication should be avoided.
