| Drug Name and Strength | Pentosan polysulfate sodium 100 mg/mL |
|---|---|
| Quantity | 20ml Bottle |
| Indication | Aid in the treatment of noninfectious joint diseases in dogs, including osteoarthritis, especially in conditions affecting multiple joints; osteochondrosis dissecans; traumatic joint and periarticular inflammation in working and racing dogs. |
| Contraindications | Administration to dogs with clotting defects, traumatic haemorrhage, infection, renal or hepatic failure; administration within two days of surgery. |
| Actions | Pharmacology Pentosan polysulfate is a semisynthetic polysaccharide polymer which possesses anti-inflammatory, antiarthritic and chondroprotective properties. These beneficial effects arise from direct anti-inflammatory activity; inhibition of neutrophil migration into joints; stimulation of hyaluronic acid synthesis by synovial fibroblasts which results in a marked increase in synovial fluid volume and viscosity; stimulation of chondrocytes and the biosynthesis of proteoglycans; and strong fibrinolytic activity which improves the circulation in subchondral bone and periarticular structures. |
| Precautions | If using after surgery or trauma, ensure that all haemorrhage has ceased. |
| Dosage and Administration | Give by subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. 3 mg/kg on four occasions with an interval of five to seven days between injections. |
| Storage | Store below 30°C (room temperature). Do not freeze. Protect from light. |
