What is Equioxx?

Equioxx is a non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) for the control of pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis in horses. Just one convenient, daily dose lasts up to 24 hours and can help improve your horse's mobility. It is the only NSAID allowed for use up to 14 days. It's available in a chewable tablet and a paste for easy administration. Equioxx requires a prescription from your veterinarian.

For:

Horses (1 year or older)

Benefits:

  • Controls pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis
  • Helps improve mobility
  • 1 daily dose
  • Easy-to-administer chewable tablet or paste

How does Equioxx work?

Equioxx is a coxib class NSAID that targets COX-2 (cyclooxygenase-2), which help the chemicals responsible for pain and inflammation, while sparing COX-1 (cyclooxygenase-1), which help maintain normal bodily functions like blood flow to the kidneys and gastric mucosal protection.

Cautions:

Treatment with Equioxx should be terminated if signs such as inappetence, colic, abnormal feces, or lethargy are observed. Use with caution in horses that are dehydrated, on diuretic therapy, or have existing renal, cardiovascular, and/or hepatic dysfunction. The safe use of Equioxx in horses less than 1 year in age, horses used for breeding, or in pregnant or lactating mares has not been evaluated. Avoid use in horses with a known hypersensitivity to firocoxib or other NSAIDs.

Equioxx (Merial)
