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.
