Rx Adequan Canine, 100mg/ml x 5ml

Dosage and Administration:

The recommended dose of Adequan ^® Canine is 2mg/lb body weight (.02 mL/lb or 1 mL per 50lb), by intramuscular injection only, twice weekly for up to 4 weeks (maximum of 8 injections). Do not exceed the recommended dose or therapeutic regimen. Do not mix Adequan^® Canine with other drugs or solvents.

How it works:
Adequan^® Canine (polysulfated glycosaminoglycan) is administered two times a week for four weeks. The drug is injected intramuscularly to ensure it reaches the critical parts of the joint.

Your dog may begin to act like the playful, active dog you remember.
