Anybody have any information on this? I have done the search on it and believe it is comparable to Adequan and Pentosan, just wondering if anyone has used it and what was your experience.
Not even the Same thing. Equioxx is an anti inflammatory and pain Drug. Similar to bute and banamine but a cox 2 inhibitor. Just FYI the dog version is previcox and do a search for that on here. Plenty of reading. It's significantly cheaper. Adequan , pentosan, etc are injectible drugs used to maintain joint health.
Thank you! That's kind of what I got out of it, but figured I would ask opinions on here. A friend of mine wanted to start her horse on Adequan as a preventative and the vet's office suggested that. After looking it up, I thought it would be the wrong thing, but like I said, wanted to check with the board.

Thanks for your replies!
No pain issues then absolutely no reason for Previcox/Equioxx. Adequan would be her best bet to maintain. My mare gets a quarter tab of Previcox a day during the busy hauling season since she has some bone formation on the toe of her coffin bone due to bad farrier work before I got her and her hocks are also in the process of fusing so I just use a quarter tab (57mg) of Previcox just to make sure she stays feeling good and happy.
