Ingredients 

  • 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.

Dosage and Administration 

Recommended Dosage

  • Orally 1 to 2g of phenylbutazone per 500 lb. (227 kg) of body weight daily. 
  • Do not exceed 4g daily.

Frequency

  • Administer the product once or twice daily, depending on the severity of the condition and as directed by your veterinarian. 
  • The typical dose is 1-2 grams per 500 lbs of body weight.

Consistency

  • For best results, administer the product consistently at the same time each day. 
  • This ensures steady levels of the medication in your horse's system, optimizing pain relief and reducing the risk of flare-ups.

Guidelines for Succesful Therapy:

  1. Important - To avoid overdosing and ensure the correct first dose, move the ring-on lunger to the appropriate dosage position before administration. The edge of the ring closest to the syringe barrel should be aligned to the gram/dosage mark on the plunger.
  2. When administering Butequine paste the oral cavity should be empty. Set the ring on the plunger to deliver the appropriate dosage on weight. Deposit paste on the back of the tongue by depressing the plunger.
  3. Use a relatively high dose for the first 48 hours (not to exceed 4g daily), then reduce gradually to a maintenance dose. Maintain the lowest dose capable of producing a desired clinical response.
  4. Response to Butequine paste therapy is prompt, usually occurring within 24 hours. If no significant clinical response is evident after 5 days, reevaluate the diagnosis and therapeutic approach.
  5. Many chronic conditions will respond to Butequine paste therapy, but discontinuance of treatment may result in the recurrence of symptoms.
