Adequan® i.m. is recommended for the intramuscular treatment of non-infectious degenerative and/or traumatic joint dysfunction associated lameness of the carpal and hock joints in horses. PSGAG improves joint function by reducing synovial fluid protein levels due to its anti-inflammatory effect and increasing synovial fluid hyaluronic acid concentration in damaged equine joints. Adequan i.m. is also chondroprotective, acting as a potent enzyme inhibitor which prevents and may reverse the loss of joint cartilage that occurs in degenerative joint disease (DJD). If inflammatory enzymes are left unchecked, irreversible changes to the joint can occur.
