| Indication | An aid in the treatment of noninfectious inflammatory joint disease in dogs. Clinical applications include the following conditions: osteoarthritis, osteochondritis dissecans, traumatic joint and periarticular inflammation in working and racing dogs, and following intra-articular surgery. |
| Contraindications | This product is contraindicated for use in dogs with congestive heart disease, severe renal disease, primary hepatic failure or oedema; and in bitches that are pregnant or lactating. |
| Actions | Pentosan polysulfate sodium (PPS) is a semisynthetic polysaccharide with a linear xylan (pentosan) backbone. Xylan is a hemicellulose derived from plant origin. PPS possesses anti-inflammatory, antiarthritic and chondroprotective activities. The beneficial effects of pentosan polysulfate in joint disease are due to the following actions: anti-inflammatory activity; inhibition of neutrophil migration into the joint; stimulation of hyaluronic acid synthesis by synovial fibroblasts, resulting in increased volume and viscosity of synovial fluid; stimulation of proteoglycan synthesis by chondrocytes; and fibrinolytic activity, resulting in improved circulation to subchondral bone and periarticular structures. |
