About This Item

Details

Adequan i.m (polysulfated glycosaminoglycan) is the only FDA-approved PSGAG for degenerative joint disease (DJD) in horses. Adequan i.m. treats the disease, not just its clinical signs by reducing inflammation, restoring synovial joint lubrication, repairing joint cartilage and reversing the disease process. For over 30 years, Adequan i.m has been prescribed by veterinarians to help horses of every discipline and level enjoy greater mobility over their lifetimes. There is no generic version of Adequan i.m. Adequan i.m. (polysulfated glycosaminoglycan) is recommended for the intramuscular treatment of non-infectious degenerative and/or traumatic joint dysfunction and associated lameness of the carpal and hock joints in horses.

Qualifying purchases of 7-dose series (seven 5mL vials or one 50mL vial) of Adequan Equine may be eligible for a $20 rebate. Learn how to claim your rebate in the Rebate Instructions PDF link below.

We directly source prescription medications from manufacturers and wholesale distributors registered with the FDA and licensed by applicable state boards. Guaranteed genuine, and where applicable, backed by the manufacturer.

prolonging working life of my horse

I always know when it's time for my horse to get his next round of Adequan. We lose a little something, and gain a little head tilt as he tries to shift his weight

I always know when it's time for my horse to get his next round of Adequan. We lose a little something, and gain a little head tilt as he tries to shift his weight around. Almost from the first shot, he moves better and straighter and more powerfully. The ease it brings him is clear, and I'm a dedicated fan of the product. Friends have complained to me that the shots are expensive, but they spend more each month on supplements than I do on Adequan, and I see more difference in how my horse moves. To me, his comfort is well worth the price. He's 17 now and still progressing up the levels, but when he tells me that, even with medication, the arthritis is winning out, I'll keep him on this through his retirement so that he's as comfortable as possible until the end. It's been a game changer for us.

This has Really Helped My Boy!

I have been using Adequan IM injections for several years now. It really helps my sweet gelding who is 22, but his mind is 12. He loves to interact and play.

I have been using Adequan IM injections for several years now. It really helps my sweet gelding who is 22, but his mind is 12. He loves to interact and play. When his arthritis starts to act up, he gets depressed. This keeps us both in the game!

It’s helpful

It’s easy enough to administer (shot) and my horse tolerates both the shot and the adequan itself. He’s 21 and I don’t ride him; I just want to make him as comfortable

The delivery is so quick and just what I order

The adequan really seems to help our dog Lucy’s. Before her injection she is slow getting up. After the injection she gets right up. Doesn’t seem to have any side

Tried & true

I am doing the protocol where you administer every 4 days for 28 days, 7 doses total. Adequan has served my horses well, just wish they could give us all a break

This works for my Gizmo

Gizmo does get stiff in her back legs and Adequan does keep her joints moving well. Plus I could not be happier with the cost for the Adequan at Chewy. I was paying

Gizmo does get stiff in her back legs and Adequan does keep her joints moving well. Plus I could not be happier with the cost for the Adequan at Chewy. I was paying more than $100 more from the vet in South Carolina. The vet here in New York recommended that I purchase from Chewy. So glad she allowed that.

After a few doses, my aged gelding was moving better

A world of difference in movement and gait for my older gelding! So glad we tried this.

Price

I have to give Shadow an injection once a month. Chewy has the best price I have found so far.

Terribly packaged

These are 5ml glass vials that cost around $50 each and they were all just thrown together in a large plastic container. Nothing to cushion them or keep them from

These are 5ml glass vials that cost around $50 each and they were all just thrown together in a large plastic container. Nothing to cushion them or keep them from rattling around. Naturally they did not ship well. One of the vials arrived broken, so the other vials were covered in medicine and shards of glass. I did contact customer service and explained and they replaced the broken one for free which I sincerely appreciated but the replacement was packaged the exact same way!
