Q2: Can Legend Injectable Solution be used with other equine joint therapies?

Q3: How frequently can a horse receive Legend injections?

Ans: Legend is typically administered as a 4 mL intravenous dose that may be repeated at weekly intervals for a total of three treatments. After this series, your veterinarian will reassess your horse and determine whether any further courses are appropriate.

Q4: Is Legend suitable for long-term management of equine osteoarthritis?

Ans: Legend can be used as part of a comprehensive long-term management plan designed to enhance comfort, mobility, and performance. However, ongoing treatment schedules, rest, exercise adjustments, and additional therapies should always be customized and supervised by an equine veterinarian.

Q8: Can Legend Injectable Solution be given to breeding, pregnant, or lactating mares?

The manufacturer has not established the safety of Legend in breeding stallions or in breeding, pregnant, or lactating mares. Because reproductive status may influence risk, your veterinarian must carefully weigh potential benefits and uncertainties before recommending use.

Q9: Is Legend Injectable Solution safe for horses raised for human consumption?

Legend carries a warning that it must not be used in horses intended for human consumption. If there is any possibility that a treated horse could enter the food chain, talk with your veterinarian about alternative treatment options before starting Legend therapy.
