Hyvisc for Horses - Sodium Hyaluronate Injections
Hyvisc Hyaluronate Sodium Sterile Injection is an advanced veterinary solution tailored for equine osteoarthritis, a condition that can severely impact your horse’s mobility and overall well-being.
Osteoarthritis, often referred to as degenerative joint disease, is a common cause of lameness in horses, leading to chronic pain, stiffness, and a decline in performance.
Hyvisc addresses these challenges head-on by providing targeted relief directly within the joint. It works by replenishing the natural hyaluronic acid in the joint fluid, reducing inflammation, and restoring the smooth movement of joints.
This product is not just a treatment but a proactive measure to maintain your horse’s joint health, helping to prevent further deterioration and enabling your horse to stay active and pain-free.
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.
Benefits of Hyvisc
- Rapid Pain Relief: Hyvisc provides almost immediate relief from joint pain, allowing horses to return to their normal activities quickly.
- Improved Joint Mobility: By replenishing hyaluronic acid levels, Hyvisc significantly enhances joint lubrication, reducing friction and enabling smoother movement.
- Reduces Inflammation: The anti-inflammatory properties of hyaluronate sodium reduce swelling and prevent further joint damage.
- Long-lasting Effects: A single injection can offer sustained relief, potentially reducing the need for frequent treatments.
- Veterinarian Trusted: Hyvisc is a preferred choice among veterinarians due to its proven efficacy and safety profile.
- Minimizes Cartilage Degradation: Hyvisc helps slow cartilage degeneration in the affected joints by providing essential lubrication and reducing inflammation.
- Convenient Application: The prefilled syringe ensures accurate dosing and reduces the risk of contamination, making it easy and safe to administer.
Hyvisc Ingredients
- Primary Ingredient: Hyaluronate Sodium – 20 mg/mL.
- Secondary Ingredients: Sodium Chloride, Sodium Phosphate Dibasic, Sodium Phosphate Monobasic, Water for Injection.
How It Works
- Hyvisc works by replenishing hyaluronic acid, a natural component of synovial fluid in the joint.
- This fluid acts as a lubricant and shock absorber within the joints, facilitating smooth movement and reducing wear and tear on the cartilage.
- In horses with osteoarthritis, the concentration of hyaluronic acid decreases, leading to increased friction, inflammation, and pain.
- By injecting Hyvisc directly into the joint, the hyaluronate sodium quickly integrates into the synovial fluid, enhancing its viscosity and restoring its protective function.
- This not only alleviates pain but also promotes the healing of the joint tissues by reducing inflammation and preventing further cartilage breakdown.
Dosage and Administration
- Administer one 2mL prefilled syringe directly into the affected joint under sterile conditions.
- This procedure should be carried out by a licensed veterinarian.
Frequency
- In most cases, a single injection provides significant relief.
- However, additional injections may be necessary depending on the severity of the condition.
- Typically, treatment can be repeated every six months, or as recommended by your veterinarian.
Consistency
The effectiveness of Hyvisc can vary depending on the individual horse and the progression of osteoarthritis. Consistent monitoring and follow-up injections may be required to maintain optimal joint health and mobility.
Hyvisc Side Effects
- Mild Swelling: Some horses may experience temporary swelling at the injection site, which usually subsides within a few days.
- Mild Discomfort: There might be mild discomfort or lameness post-injection, which is typically short-lived.
Precautions
- Veterinary Supervision: Ensure that the injection is administered by a qualified veterinarian to minimize the risk of complications.
- Monitor for Allergic Reactions: Horses with a history of hypersensitivity to hyaluronate sodium or related compounds should be closely monitored after administration.
- Post-Injection Care: Limit the horse's activity for 48 hours post-injection to allow the joint to recover and for the medication to take full effect.
