Adequan is recommended for the treatment of noninfectious degenerative and/or traumatic joint dysfunction and associated lameness of the carpal joint in dogs.
Side effects are rare possible. The most common problems associated with Adequan are pain/swelling at the injection site or blood clotting problems. Decreased blood clotting can cause nose bleeds or gastrointestinal bleeding which can cause bloody stool or vomiting. Some dogs are allergic to Adequan but this is not common. Contact your veterinarian right away if your pet is acting unusual after an injection is given.
Advise your vet of all medications and supplements your pet is taking. Drugs that can affect blood clotting (ex. heparin, warfarin) and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may interact. Other drug interactions are possible.
Pets with bleeding disorders, kidney disease, and liver disease may have a higher risk of side effects. Breeding, lactating, and pregnant dogs should not be given Adequan.

And we are starting to see improvement. For the first time in several months, he wanted to go for a car ride. He hasn't wanted to jump because of the pain and inability to make the height. Now we go to monthly injections. I hope the improvement continues.
We got this med after my 4 year old lab tore both her acls and surgery wasnt a good fit for her. She has been on it for a month now and is acting like her old self again. We just got some for our other lab who has arthritis.
My dog has had 6 doses. He actually is excited to get his shot. He is more active and less limping. I wish they would approve this for humans.
I was initially hesitant after seeing the price for this medication when my vet recommended it. However, I am absolutely AMAZED with the progress my senior dog has made since starting this! My senior dog has begun running again. He also sits voluntarily which he hasn't done in a long time! I very much recommend this medication!
I have a 16 yr old dog - he got his initial dose of Adequan (2 injections per week for 4 weeks) about 6 yrs ago - we now use it once per week (a quick injection in the fatty part of his neck skin - he is still playful, takes daily walks and overall a happy dog - I highly, highly recommend this product!!
Our 10-year old dog is a terrible pill taker and our Vet recommended Adequan. After only 3 injections, she is moving better than she has in years!
My son's dog has joints problems and this medication very help him to be a happy dog, who could normally walks and even jumps.
Our dog has been on Adequan for 3 months and we are not seeing any positive results for our girl so far. I know it takes awhile to see results so we will continue to administer to her. Giving the injection is easy. She does not even seem to notice.
I was prescribed this for my almost 14 year old dog. She has a prominent limp in the front, and it combined with Gabapentin seems to help her discomfort.
We've seen such an improvement in our dog after a couple of weeks giving this to him. He had surgery for elbow dysplasia and this seems to have really helped his recovery along.
