WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY

I have continued to use Polyglycan as a standard postoperative parenteral treatment as well for essentially all of my orthopedics.

"I began using Polyglycan in a clinical setting over 10 years ago, initially as a post-surgical lavage following arthroscopic surgery. Soon afterward I began routine administration on a weekly or bi-weekly basis on athletes with musculoskeletal maintenance issues as well as young developing horses with developmental orthopedic disease. I have continued to use Polyglycan as a standard postoperative treatment as well for essentially all of my orthopedics. I have encountered no adverse effects from either route of administration of Polyglycan.

In addition to using Polyglycan in racing athletes and sport horses, I routinely recommend its use in weanlings and yearlings with synovitis and joint effusions that are the result of osteochondrosis lesions. I also frequently administer Polyglycan in foals undergoing treatment for septic arthritis. I have not experienced any adverse reactions with the use of Polyglycan."
