Hyvisc (Hyaluronate Sodium) Injection 11mg/ml, 2 ml is recommended for the treatment of joint dysfunction in horses due to non-infectious synovitis associated with equine osteoarthritis. Hyaluronate sodium plays an important role in joint health, helping to maintain viscoelasticity and lubrication. As a result, Hyvisc is commonly given to horses experiencing joint dysfunction due to non-infectious synovitis associated with osteoarthritis. The injection comes with a large calibrated syringe for easy handling and dosing.How it Works
Hyaluronate sodium is a natural constituent of connective tissue and synovial fluid in both man and animals. In synovial fluid, hyaluronate sodium confers viscoelastic as well as lubricating properties. In connective tissue, hyaluronate sodium specifically interacts with cartilage proteoglycans to form stable aggregates.
Special Precautions
Warnings: Do not use in horses intended for human consumption. Hyvisc (hyaluronate sodium) Injection must not be administered intravascularly. Precautions: Used or partially used syringes should be crushed and disposed of in an appropriate landfill. Do not use if numerous small air bubbles are present throughout the solution.
Overdose Information
Immediately contact your closest emergency animal hospital or vet.
Side Effects
There are no known contraindications to the use of Hyvisc (hyaluronate sodium) Injection. As with any intra-articular injection, a mild inflammatory response (tenderness, heat and swelling) may be seen in the joint following the Hyvisc Injection. This response is self-limiting, but may last from two to five days after treatment. If inflammation is excessive or severe contact your Veterinarian
Storage
Store under refrigerated conditions, 2°-8°C (36°-46°F). Protect from freezing and avoid excessive heat.

Dosage and Administration:
The recommended dose of Hyvisc (hyaluronate sodium) Injection is 2 mL (22 mg) given to horses intra-articularly in small and medium-sized joints (carpal, fetlock). In larger joints (hock), the dosage is 4 mL (44 mg). Treatment may be repeated at weekly intervals for a total of three treatments. As with any intra-articular injection, aseptic technique is used. The following are suggested use directions regardless of the type of joint to be treated.
1. Carefully diagnose each case using routine methods. The origin of lameness should be pinpointed to be within a specific joint or joints (e.g., lameness is localized to a specific joint using intra-articular anesthesia). Radiographs or other diagnostic aids should not reveal recent fractures or other serious abnormalities which would suggest a poor prognosis.
2. Aseptically remove as much synovial fluid from the afflicted joint as can be easily withdrawn.
3. Remove tip cap from the Hyvisc syringe and inject through a sterile needle, 20 gauge or larger.
4. Inject a single 2 mL dose (one syringe) of Hyvisc into each joint to be treated; if the joint being treated is the hock joint, inject 4 mL (two syringes). Since Hyvisc is a viscous fluid, care should be exercised on injection so as not to dislodge the needle from the syringe.
5. Two or four days of rest or light exercise is recommended before resumption of normal activity. Improvement of joint function should be seen within one to two weeks after Hyvisc Injection.
