What are the Ingredients in Butequine Paste?

  • Primary Ingredient: Phenylbutazone 20% w/w (200 mg/g)
  • Secondary Ingredients: Sorbitol, Glycerin, Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose, Flavoring Agents

How Does It Work?

  • Butequine works by inhibiting the enzymes responsible for inflammation and pain in horses. 
  • As a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), it blocks the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals that cause inflammation, pain, and fever. 
  • By reducing these prostaglandins, Butequine helps alleviate pain, reduce swelling, and improve mobility, making it easier for horses to perform daily activities or compete in events.

Guidelines for Successful Therapy with Butequine Paste

  1. Proper Dosage Setup:

    • Before administration, ensure the syringe plunger is set to the correct dosage.
    • Move the ring on the plunger to align with the desired gram/dosage marking closest to the syringe barrel. This prevents accidental overdosing.
  2. Preparation for Administration:

    • Ensure the horse’s oral cavity is clear of food or debris.
    • Position the syringe to deposit the paste directly onto the back of the horse’s tongue. Depress the plunger gently for smooth application.
  3. Dosage Strategy:

    • Administer a higher initial dose for the first 48 hours to achieve maximum therapeutic effect. Do not exceed 4 grams daily.
    • Gradually reduce the dose to the lowest effective maintenance level to manage symptoms long-term while minimizing risks.
  4. Monitoring Therapeutic Response:

    • Significant improvement is typically observed within 24 hours of administration.
    • If no noticeable response occurs after 5 days, consult your veterinarian to reassess the diagnosis and adjust the treatment plan.
  5. Chronic Condition Management:

    • Butequine Paste is effective for many chronic inflammatory conditions. However, discontinuing treatment may result in the recurrence of symptoms.

By adhering to these guidelines, you can maximize the therapeutic benefits of Butequine Paste while ensuring your horse's safety and comfort. Always follow your veterinarian’s recommendations for best results.
