Specifications

Adequan is an FDA-approved injectable medication prescribed for the treatment of equine non-infectious degenerative joint disease (DJD), specifically in the carpal and hock joints (the equivalent of the ankle bone in humans). DJD can cause joint pain and inflammation, which can often lead to horse lameness. Lameness occurs when the horse overcompensates for the affected area, resulting in abnormal movements. Adequan can help reduce the damaging process of DJD, help reverse the loss of cartilage and encourage healthy joint function and associated lameness.
