Dosage and administration

The dosage needed may vary according to individual clinical circumstances such as the severity of the condition to be treated, size of animal and clinical response.

The following dosage recommendations are therefore initial guidelines and may need slight alteration in the light of individual response.

An insulin type syringe should be used to measure and administer volumes of less than 1 ml.

Local

Aseptic precautions are important.

Horses

The average initial dose for a large synovial space is 120 mg (3 ml). Smaller spaces will require a correspondingly lesser dose. The intratendinous dose ranges from 80–400 mg (2–10 ml) depending on the size of the tendon.https://powerhorsevet.com

Dogs

The average initial dosage for a large synovial space is 20 mg (0.5 ml). Smaller spaces will require a correspondingly lesser dosage.

Procedure for intrasynovial injection

The anatomy of the area to be injected should be reviewed in order to ensure that the product is properly placed and that large blood vessels and nerves are avoided. The injection site is located where the synovial cavity is most superficial. The area is prepared for aseptic injection by shaving and disinfection. If there is an excess of synovia and more than 1 ml of the product is to be injected, it is advisable to aspirate a volume of fluid comparable to that which is to be injected. With the needle in place, the aspirating syringe is removed and replaced by a second syringe containing the proper amount of the product to be injected. In some animals, a transient pain or synovial flare may be elicited immediately upon injection and may last for up to two to three days. After injection, the structure may be moved gently a few times to aid mixing of the synovial fluid and the product. The site may be covered with a small sterile dressing.

Following injection, relief from clinical signs may be experienced within 12–24 hours and be sustained for a variable period but averages three to four weeks, with a range of one to more than five weeks. The continued or prolonged use of the product is discouraged.https://powerhorsevet.com
