DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION:
2 mL (20 mg) of HYLARTIN® V given to horses intra-articularly in small and medium size joints (carpal, fetlock). In the treatment of larger joints (hock), the dosage is 4 mL (40 mg). The treatment may be repeated at weekly intervals for a total of three treatments.
HYLARTIN® V should be injected in horses intra-articularly under strict aseptic conditions. Effusion should be removed prior to injection. When performing the injections, care should be taken not to scratch the cartilage surface, as this may result in diffuse swelling lasting for 24 to 48 hours. This transient swelling, however, will have no effect on the ultimate clinical result. For best results, the horse should be given two days stall rest before gradually resuming normal activity.
