Elite Veteran Posts: 690 Location: Georgia	How much and how often to you give Pentosan Gold? Should there be a loading dose like with Adequan? I am using this for a horse with a bad knee so I want to make sure I am giving her a proper dosage. Should I do the first few rounds IV so it gets into her system faster?

Expert Posts: 5290	I use it weekly with one horse and once a month with the other IM. I just opened a new bottle from HPR. No issues with color or consistency. Its supposed to be watery. Never thick. It has ALWAYS had a slightly off clear color.. Slight yellow tint. Never had a problem.

Expert Posts: 3514	Mine had always been thicker. But I was using the regular Pentosan. I had used the gold,but if you look the amount of the actual Pentosan is less. I decided to go with what my vet recommended. I will keep ordering the glucosamine though. I have sometimes wondered if what they say is in the bottle and the strength really is what they say. And it does scare me with the reactions that horses have had recently with it.

Member Posts: 48	My mare also just had a reaction to pentosan gold last week that I had gotten from horseprerace. Gave it in her neck, I thought maybe I got the position of the injection too far forward because she had never had a reaction before, but maybe it was the pentosan??
