Horses (over 1 year of age)
Diclofenac sodium, the active ingredient, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to reduce inflammation which in turn reduces pain.
When applying the cream, wear gloves to prevent absorption into the hands. Apply Surpass exactly as directed by your veterinarian.
Surpass
Diclofenac Sodium (die-klo-fen-ack)
Surpass is a prescription topical cream containing 1% diclofenac sodium, a non-narcotic, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Surpass is indicated for the control of pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis in the hock, knee, fetlock and pastern joints in horses.
Tell your veterinarian if your horse has experienced allergic reactions to diclofenac or other medications. Tell your veterinarian if your horse is pregnant or nursing a foal, or if you intend to breed the horse. Tell your veterinarian if your horse has ever been diagnosed with an ulcer.
Surpass is not a cure for osteoarthritis. However, it does control pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis. The usual dose of Surpass is to apply a 5 inch (5") ribbon twice a day over the affected joint for up to 10 days. Rub the cream thoroughly into the hair covering the joint until the cream disappears. Rubber gloves should be worn to prevent absorption into the hands.
Surpass is for topical use in horses only. Surpass should not be used in horses exhibiting allergic reactions to diclofenac. Surpass is not for use in horses intended for food. The safety of Surpass in horses less than 1 year of age, in horses used for breeding, pregnant mares, or mares nursing foals has not been determined.
If any of the following serious side effects occur, stop using Surpass and seek emergency veterinary medical attention; an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; swelling of the lips, tongue or face; hives). Other side effects that may occur include weight loss, colic, diarrhea, yellowing of the gums, skin or whites of the eyes. Serious adverse reactions associated with this drug class can occur without warning and, in rare instances, result in death. Discontinue the use of Surpass and contact your veterinarian immediately if these signs are observed. Other side effects may also occur. Talk to your veterinarian about any side effect that seems unusual or bothersome to the animal.
Surpass should not be used with any other anti-inflammatory medications such as other NSAIDs (aspirin, phenylbutazone, flunixin) and corticosteroids (cortisone, prednisone, dexamethasone, triamcinolone). Drugs other than those listed may also interact with Surpass. Talk to your veterinarian or pharmacist before giving any prescription or over the counter (OTC) medicines.
Rubber gloves should be worn when applying this medication to prevent absorption into the hands.
