Supports Navicular Syndrome Relief in Horses

Product Description

Tildren is a veterinary-prescribed treatment that’s administered intravenously to help manage the symptoms of navicular syndrome in horses. It functions by inhibiting the breakdown of bone, which helps in improving comfort and mobility over time. Delivered through a controlled infusion, it acts directly on the bone tissue, and its positive effects may last for several months after the treatment.

Benefits

  • Navicular Support: Helps control the clinical signs of navicular syndrome, ultimately improving lameness outcomes for affected horses.
  • Bone Resorption Control: Works by inhibiting the activity of osteoclasts, which helps to reduce bone resorption and promotes healthier bone metabolism over time.
  • Proven Effectiveness: Clinical studies have shown that it has higher success rates in improving lameness compared to control groups.
  • Long Lasting Action: Stays in the bone tissue for extended periods, ensuring ongoing therapeutic effects even after just one infusion.
  • Targeted IV Therapy: Administered intravenously for precise dosing and controlled delivery under veterinary supervision.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is Tildren used for in horses?

Ans: Tildren is used for managing the clinical signs of navicular syndrome in horses, a condition that impacts the navicular bone and nearby structures. It helps alleviate lameness and enhance comfort by decreasing bone resorption, ultimately supporting improved mobility over time, but it’s important to use it under the care of a veterinarian.

Q2: How is Tildren administered to horses?

Ans: Tildren is given as a slow intravenous infusion at a dose of 1 mg for each kilogram of body weight. The infusion should be given over 90 minutes using proper sterile techniques and veterinary supervision to reduce the risk of adverse reactions.

Q3: How long does Tildren take to show results?

Ans: The maximum therapeutic effect of Tildren may not be observed until up to two months after treatment. The drug works gradually by affecting bone metabolism, and its presence in bone tissue allows for sustained effects over an extended period following a single infusion.

Q4: Can Tildren be used with NSAIDs in horses?

Ans: Tildren should not be used concurrently with NSAIDs due to an increased risk of renal toxicity and acute renal failure. A proper washout period is recommended, and veterinarians should monitor kidney function if any related medications are required during treatment.

Q5: What are the common side effects of Tildren in horses?

Ans: Some common side effects to watch for include temporary signs of colic, such as restlessness, pawing, or rolling. You may also notice an increase in urination, a decrease in appetite, and mild reactions at the injection site. These effects generally happen shortly after the infusion and usually resolve with just a bit of observation or light intervention.
