Product description

Equioxx Oral Paste is a non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drug for oral use in horses.

Active ingredients

Each Equioxx Oral Paste syringe contains:

• Firocoxib 0.82%

Indications for use

Equioxx Oral Paste is administered for up to 14 days for the control of pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis in horses.

Administration and dosage

• The recommended dosage of Equioxx Oral Paste for oral administration in horses is 0.045 mg/lb (0.1 mg/kg) of body weight once daily for up to14 days. In target animal safety studies, toxicity was seen at the recommended dose when the duration of treatment exceeded 30 days.

  • Each marking on the syringe will treat 250 pounds of body weight, and each notch corresponds to approximately a 50 lb weight increment.

  • To deliver the correct dose, round the horse's body weight up to the nearest 50 pound increment (if the body weight is an exact 50 pound increment, do not round up).

  • Unlock the knurled ring on the syringe plunger by rotating it 1/4 turn.

  • Slide the knurled ring along the plunger shaft so that the side nearest the barrel is at the appropriate 50 lb weight notch.

  • Rotate the plunger ring 1/4 turn to lock it in place and ensure it is locked.

• Equioxx Oral Paste may be given with or without food.
