NOAH Compendium of Animal Medicines: Hyonate 10 mg/ml Solution for Injection

Hyonate 10 mg/ml Solution for Injection

Dosage and administration

For intravenous or intra-articular use.

The recommended dose is:

Intravenous administration	4 ml (corresponding to 40 mg a.i)
Intra-articular administration	2 ml (corresponding to 20 mg a.i)

Treatment may be repeated at weekly intervals for a total of three treatments.

Strict aseptic technique should be observed when injecting Hyonate. As with any intra-articular procedure, proper injection site disinfection and animal restraint are very important.

Excess synovial fluid should be aseptically removed prior to articular injection. Care should be taken not to scratch the cartilage surface with the point of the injection needle. Diffuse swelling lasting 24 to 48 hours may result from movement of the needle while in the joint space.

For best results, the horse should be given three days stable rest after intra-articular treatment before gradually resuming normal activity.

Use during pregnancy and lactation

The product may be used safely in pregnant and lactating animals.
