Pentosan polysulphate is one of the most important "Weapons" in the "Arsenal" of the vet treating joint stiffness in aging dogs and horses.
Pentosan polysulphate is a prescription-only medication (S4) that veterinarians commonly recommend alongside Joint Rejuvenate for enhanced joint health outcomes.
Dosing
The standard protocol involves 3 mg/kg bodyweight administered weekly for four weeks via intramuscular injection.
Frequency
Many owners pursue quarterly injections for long-term joint maintenance, with veterinarians offering competency certification for those learning self-injection techniques.
Synergy with Joint Rejuvenate
Combining pentosan polysulphate with Joint Rejuvenate produces synergistic benefits exceeding individual effectiveness. This combination proves particularly valuable for maintaining vertebral joint health in middle-aged and older performance horses.
