Legend Injectable Solution (Hyaluronate Sodium) for Horses , 2 ml

Legend Equine Injection

As horses age or engage in rigorous physical activity, their joints can experience significant stress, leading to discomfort, reduced mobility, and inflammation.

Equine osteoarthritis, a common condition caused by everyday wear and tear, can affect horses of any age or discipline, leading to permanent joint dysfunction and potentially early retirement. 

Legend Hyaluronate Sodium Injectable Solution 2 mL is specifically formulated to combat joint dysfunction, particularly in the carpus and fetlock, due to non-infectious synovitis associated with equine osteoarthritis.

This advanced FDA-approved injectable solution replenishes synovial fluid, decreases the presence of inflammatory mediators in the joint, and improves synovial fluid quality.

Whether administered intravenously (I.V.) or intra-articularly (I.A.), Legend reduces the degree of lameness and provides immediate relief from joint pain. Its unique, sterile, and pyrogen-free formulation ensures rapid absorption, effectively targeting the root cause of joint pain to support overall joint health and maintain optimal mobility in horses, especially those involved in competitive sports or high-intensity work. 

Prescription items are NON-RETURNABLE and NON-REFUNDABLE.

Please note that the product may arrive in a Hardy Paw Pharmacy vial, manufacturer packaging is shown for reference.
