possible associated with early equine degenerative joint disease.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Strict aseptic technique should be observed when injecting Enhance
I.A.
Radiographs should be taken prior to administration to eliminate joint
fractures or advanced
degenerative joint disease. This product does not contain an
antimicrobial preservative. Any
solution remaining in the vial following withdrawal of the required
dose should be discarded.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
The recommended dose by the intra-articular route is 2 mL (1 vial –
20 mg).
Treatment may be repeated at weekly intervals for a total of three
treatments. As with any intra-
articular procedure proper injection site disinfection and animal
restraint are important. Excess joint
fluid should be aseptically removed prior to intra-articular
injection. Care should be taken not to
scratch the cartilage surface with the injection needle. Diffuse
swelling lasting 24 to 48 hours may
result from movement of the needle while in the joint space.
To achieve best results horses should be rested during treatment and
given 7 days stable rest after
treatment before gradually resuming normal activity.
