Artrocon 25 ml

Composition:Chondroitin sulfate 16.0 gAuthorized excipients q.s.p 100 mlTarget species:Horses, canines and felines.Description:Chondroitin Sulfate is a substance found in human and animal cartilage. It is used primarily for the treatment of arthritis and appears to have a beneficial effect on damaged joints. It is the most abundant type of glycosaminoglycan (GAG's) found in cartilage and its main function is to maintain the elastic properties and proper hydration of cartilage.Glycosaminoglycans are complex carbohydrates found in various types of connective tissue in the body. They form 5-20% of cartilage tissue. GAG's are structures with high anionic charge and high molecular weight; characteristic that gives it the ability to retain water, giving the tissue greater elasticity, allowing the arrival of nutrients and the elimination of waste from cellular metabolism.Chondroitin Sulfate is a glycosaminoglycan composed of an alternate chain of sugars (N-Acetylglucosamine and Glucuronic Acid). It is usually found bound to proteins as part of proteoglycans. The chondroitin chain can have about 100 sugars, which can be sulfated in different positions and amounts.Action:ARTROCON is a potent inhibitor of proteolytic enzymes (collagenase, elastase, proteoglycanase, phospholipase A2, N-acetylglucosaminidase, etc.) and acts by slowing down or reversing the processes that result in the loss of cartilage mucopolysaccharides. Chondroitin sulfate improves joint function by stimulating the activity of the synovial membrane, increasing the viscosity of synovial fluid, therefore, it is an excellent anti-arthritic, anti-arthritic, regenerator of joint cartilage and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory joint.Indications of use:ARTROCON is recommended for the treatment of non-infectious traumatic and/or degenerative dysfunctions. It is also indicated for carpal hyperextension in large animals, hydroarthrosis, osteoarthritis, coxarthrosis, hip dysplasia, chondropathies, tendinitis, synovitis and spondyloarthrosis. Especially recommended for intensive training of sport equine. It can be used until the very moment before the competition. Dosage, mode and form of administration:Administer intramuscularly (IM) or subcutaneously (SC)1 ml of Artrocon is Equivalent to 0.16 g Chondroitin SulfateHorses: 1.0 ml per 100 kg of live weight, by IM route.(Equivalent to 0.16 g/100 Kg PV of Chondroitin sulfate)Apply at intervals of 1 to 4 days, with a total of 10 applications.Canines and Felines (via IM or SC):Up to 10 Kg of live weight: 1.0 ml (Equivalent to 0.16 g Chondroitin sulfate)From 10 to 30 Kg of live weight: 2.0 ml (Equivalent to 0.32 g Chondroitin sulfate).Greater than 30 Kg: 2.5 ml (Equivalent to 0.4 g Chondroitin sulfate).In all cases, the duration of treatment will depend on the diagnosis of the Veterinarian. An average of 10 total applications is suggested.ARTROCON has an excellent safety margin, however, the dose and the duration of the treatment will depend on the acting Veterinarian. Contraindications and Warnings: Does not present.Precautions:Do not use in horses intended for human consumptionInteractions and incompatibilities:Do not administer to animals with sensitivity to some of the components of the product.Side effects: Does not present.Overdose:At the recommended dose, the product has a wide safety margin.Use restrictions:Do not administer to horses whose meat is intended for human consumption.Special safety precautions to be taken by the person who administers or handles the product:Poisoning in man is very unlikely due to the method of administration and as long as it is handled with the appropriate precautions for chemical products.National Poison Center Free number for all of Argentina:PHONE: 0800-333-0160Form of presentation:Injectable solution in amber glass bottles containing: 25 ml capacity.Storage:Store in its original container, between 15 and 25ºC in a cool place and protected from light.Keep in mind for shipments that the unit weight of the product is 74 gr or 2.61 oz Click here to see the video
