Anyone use this here is info I found in a quick search on it.


If you are searching for a product that treats both the symptoms and the underlying degenerative disease process of horses' joint problems, Adequan ® may be a good choice.

First, Adequan has important antiinflammatory effects, so it is able to provide relief from the symptoms of joint damage: heat, swelling, pain and lameness. And Adequan can be found in synovial fluid at full therapeutic levels within only two hours of an intramuscular injection. Also, Adequan is a product with potent ability to block the action of the destructive enzymes that threaten to perpetuate the joint inflammation, attack the cartilage and break down synovial fluid.

Second, Adequan also stimulates the synovial membrane to manufacture new, viscous synovial fluid to replace the thin fluid that was produced when the joint became injured. By improving this fluid, Adequan helps the joint regain its ability to lubricate and guard itself against further inflammation, and helps reestablish nutrition to the cartilage.

And, Adequan attaches itself to damaged cartilage where it has a positive effect on cartilage metabolism. This should favor the cartilage repair process.

Adequan is the only joint treatment proven to reduce the inflammation and pain of degenerative joint disease, but also to help stop the degenerative process while stimulating the production of new joint fluid and new cartilage components. You are no longer just treating symptoms: you're doing something to help stop the degenerative process.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION: The recommended dose of Adequan IM in horses is 500mg every 4 days for 28 days intramuscularly. The injection site must be thoroughly cleansed prior to injection. Do not mix Adequan IM with other drugs or solvents.

Comes in 500mg/5ml glass vials


More info......

FAST ACCESS TO THE JOINTS: Beneficial levels of Adequan are already at work in all major joints within two hours after intramuscular injection, with even greater uptake (up to 73% higher) in joint tissues that are inflamed or diseased. LONG-TERM EFFECTS: Adequan relieves the pain and disability of joint damage, and the relief has been shown to last up to 6 months or longer. BREAKS THE DESTRUCTIVE CYCLE: Adequan binds to damaged cartilage and boosts cartilage metabolism, facilitating repair processes. At the same time, it blocks the action of destructive enzymes that promote joint inflammation, break down the synovial fluid, and attack the cartilage. RENEWS THE JOINT FLUID: Adequan stimulates the synovial membrane to manufacture new synovial fluid to replace the thin, degraded fluid of joint disease. By doing so, Adequan helps lubricate, nourish, and clean the cartilage.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION: The recommended dose of Adequan® in horses is 250 mg (1 vial) once a week for five weeks, intra-articularly. The joint area must be shaved, cleansed and sterilized as in a surgical procedure prior to injection. Do not mix Adequan® with other drugs or solvents.
 
doc , i was going to give that stuff a go but the gh seems to be helping me out

i think DG tried it
 
Kewl............good to hear House. ;) You're one of the lucky ones brother. HGH can actually aggravate and/or lead to arthralgia/athropathies/arthrosis.
 
theres so much shit out there that can be so benificial but we just dont know about it yet. Still great to live in this age.
 
I always find it very odd that people never mention that as a side effect IM administration of 500mgs E4D for 12 weeks of PSGAG, the mean test subject showed roughly a 13.5% increase in bodyweight! Not only does this stuff help heal joint injuries, it may be anabolic. This may be due (or somehow related) to the fact that it elevates both White blood cell count as well as the Polymorphonuclear cells. Also of note is that it elevates lymphocytes.

I've used adequan with excellent results. As long as the problem is cartilage-associated, it'll have great potential. tendon/ligament problems won't be "healed" but may be covered up due to increased synovial fluid.
 
it says that you inject in joint area that is hurting, what both of your knees ar e bothering you would shoot 250mg in each knee?
i am assuming that this stuff is a controled subtance.
 
You inject IM. You can also go intra-articular, but that's too risky for someone to do themselves, and sterility becomes very important then. You don't "nned" to inject in the area of the injury.

so you would just inject like gear and it would find its way to where it is suppose to go?
Yes, ideally, you'd inject in a muscle near the injured/worn cartilage, but it's not necessary. All the pharmokinetics of it are on the manufacturer's site (Leupold sp?). It is at therapeutic concentrations at all joints within less than an hour after injection.

It should be ready to go soon, as there is a large clinical trial ongoing or it may have just finished. They just marketed it for vet use in the interim to make some extra money.
