Veterinary Injectable Phenylbutazone 20% Dexamethasone Injection for Horses, 100ml
Mechanism of Action:
Dexamethasone is a glucocorticoid family member acting on all body cells. It provides potent immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory actions by inhibiting lytic enzymes released during inflammation and stress, while decreasing macrophage phagocytosis.
Phenylbutazone, an NSAID, works differently by inhibiting prostaglandin effects that produce pain and fever. It interferes with early-stage inflammation, reduces vascular permeability, and prevents edema and diapedesis.
Combined, these ingredients provide predominant anti-inflammatory and pain relief results.
Indications: Anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and analgesic. Used for musculoskeletal inflammations such as arthritis, osteoarthritis, laminitis, and tendonitis in horses.
| Animal Type | Dosage & Method |
|---|---|
| Horses | 20 ml/day by slow IV injection; can be repeated depending on severity. |
| Foals | Slow IV or deep IM: 6 - 10 ml; repeated 24 - 48 hours later depending on severity. |
It is primarily used as an anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and analgesic treatment for musculoskeletal issues in horses, including arthritis, laminitis, and tendonitis.
