Hyonate vet.
Active substance
ATC code
Species
Horses
Indications
For the treatment of lameness in horses due to non-infectious inflammation of joints
Dose to be administered and administration route
For intravenous or intra-articular use
The recommended dose is:
| Intravenous administration: | 4 ml corresponding to 40 mg sodium hyaluronate |
| Intra-articular administration | 2 ml corresponding to 20 mg sodium hyaluronate |
Treatment may be repeated at weekly intervals for a total of three treatments.
Strict aseptic technique should be observed when injecting Hyonate. As with any intra-articular procedure, proper injection site disinfection and animal restraint are very important.
Excess synovial fluid should be aseptically removed prior to injection. Care should be taken not to scratch the cartilage surface with the point of the injection needle. Diffuse swelling lasting 24 to 48 hours may result from irritation by the needle while in the joint space.
For best results, the horse should be given three days stable rest after intra-articular treatment before gradually resuming normal activity.
Adverse reactions
In very rare cases, horses may show a transient flare reaction after intra-articular injection. This may present as a diffuse swelling lasting 24 – 48 hours resulting from irritation by the needle while in the joint space. These may be acute but will generally resolve without sequelae within a few days.
