How it works
and dosing information
Adequan® is different from traditional pain medications because it helps treat the arthritis itself—not just the pain.
Adequan® Canine is an injectable medication and the only FDA-approved disease-modifying osteoarthritis drug (DMOAD) for dogs. It works within the joint to help:
-
Slow cartilage deterioration and protect against further cartilage loss
-
Support cartilage repair by promoting the building blocks of healthy cartilage
-
Improve joint lubrication by increasing hyaluronic acid within the joint
-
Reduce inflammation associated with osteoarthritis
How is it given?
Adequan® is given by intramuscular (IM) injection twice weekly for up to 4 weeks, for a maximum of 8 injections. Additional treatment may be recommended based on your dog's response and recurrence of arthritis symptoms. *We find that maintenance monthly injections after the initial month of injections is beneficial for our patients.
Storage: Adequan® does not require refrigeration and is stored at controlled room temperature.
Adequan® can be especially helpful as part of a multimodal arthritis treatment plan, along with weight management, appropriate exercise, pain medications when needed, joint supplements, and other therapies.
