Let’s talk about repeat or top-up dosing with ArthramidVet.

We often get questions about whether ArthramidVet is safe for repeat dosing, especially since many other joint treatments can be harmful with long-term use, and horses often experience diminishing relief after each treatment.

Extensive studies have shown the safety of ArthramidVet® in both humans and animals, with over 20 years of use in human medicine. Unlike other treatments, ArthramidVet’s 2.5% iPAAG formulation acts as a bio-scaffold, helping the body’s natural healing response to injury or disease. This represents a major shift in how we approach the treatment of osteoarthritis, offering lasting relief without the risks of repeat dosing.

A diagnosis of synovitis or osteoarthritis (OA) can be daunting and often raises concerns about your horse’s comfort, mobility, and performance.

The good news is that with the right care and management, you can slow the progression of OA and help your horse stay sound, comfortable, and performing at their best for years to come. Early detection and proactive treatment are key to achieving the best outcomes.

ArthramidVet’s unique 2.5% iPAAG works by targeting the synovial membrane with precise therapeutic action, improving joint function and resolving lameness. Injected directly into the joint, it adheres to the synovial membrane, creating a long-term bio-scaffold that restores elasticity and tensile strength to the joint capsule. This reduces stiffness and fibrosis, improves the quality of the joint fluid, and provides cushioning, reduced friction, and nourishment to the cartilage.

ArthramidVet provides progressive pain relief, enhanced joint mobility, and a slowed progression of OA, helping horses stay active and comfortable for longer.

How does ArthramidVet support hock lameness in horses?

Synovitis, capsulitis, and osteoarthritis (OA) in the hock are frustratingly common issues faced by horses across disciplines. The hock joint's unique structure—with a mix of high- and low-motion joints—makes it particularly susceptible to these painful conditions.

In this article, Dr. Jason Lowe highlights the critical role of an accurate diagnosis in managing hock lameness. He also delves into the latest research on ArthramidVet’s 2.5% iPAAG technology.

ArthramidVet offers numerous benefits, including being effective and providing long-lasting relief with no competition withhold times so is safe to use year-round.

For horses with hock lameness, ArthramidVet could be an essential part of the treatment and management plan. Talk to your veterinarian to see if it’s right for your horse!

When it comes to keeping your performance horse at its peak, joint health is everything. Lameness caused by osteoarthritis (OA) can cut promising careers short—but ArthramidVet is changing the game.

Unlike traditional treatments that just mask pain, ArthramidVet works at the source, repairing and strengthening the joint from within. Its 2.5% iPAAG hydrogel restores elasticity, improves joint fluid quality and stops the cycle of inflammation that leads to OA.

The result? Long-lasting relief and improved performance.

When treating any joint-related issue, an accurate diagnosis is crucial to understand the severity of the disease fully and to prevent the use of the product for conditions other than for which it is indicated. ArthramidVet can be used in almost all cases of acute or chronic synovitis, capsulitis, meniscal tears, osteoarthritis or subchondral bone cysts, but below are a few things to consider when assessing whether ArthramidVet is right for your horse;

✔️ Non-infectious cause of lameness that has been localised to the joint by clinical examination and intra-articular analgesia, radiography, ultrasound, MRI, CT and/or Scintigraphy.

✔️Case has been diagnosed with acute or chronic synovitis, capsulitis, meniscal tears, osteoarthritis or subchondral bone cysts

✔️ Patients where other treatments may be contraindicated due to metabolic conditions or old age

✔️ Best long-term results are found when treated as early as possible in the disease process.

Synovitis is a common source of joint pain in horses. When the synovium—the membrane responsible for producing joint fluid—becomes inflamed, its ability to maintain joint health diminishes, which can lead to further complications.

Supporting synovial health is essential at all stages of arthritis, regardless of the horse’s age or activity level. ArthramidVet has a unique mode of action that specifically targets the synovium, making it an effective treatment for synovitis and various stages of arthritis.

Osteoarthritis progresses through distinct stages, each impacting the synovium differently. In the early stages, inflammation disrupts joint fluid production, leading to less lubrication and greater friction within the joint. As the disease progresses, the synovium thickens and its cushioning effect declines. In advanced osteoarthritis, chronic inflammation may lead to irreversible damage, limiting the synovium’s function and causing ongoing pain and stiffness. ArthramidVet supports the synovium from these initial stages onward, helping to maintain joint health, slow disease progression, and preserve mobility and comfort for the horse.

Managing foot lameness in horses, especially related to osteoarthritis of the coffin (DIP) and pastern (PIP) joints, is one of the most challenging aspects of equine veterinary care. With complex anatomy and overlapping pain regions, accurate diagnosis often requires advanced imaging like digital radiography, MRI, or CT scans. Osteoarthritis in these joints can severely impact athletic performance, making early detection and intervention crucial.

ArthramidVet and Corticosteroids: What's the Best Approach?

A common discussion among equine veterinarians is whether a joint can be treated with corticosteroids and ArthramidVet concurrently, or whether they should be used separately. The guidance of our Chief Veterinary Officer, Dr Jason Lowe, is grounded in understanding how 2.5% iPAAG works in the joint.

ArthramidVet works by promoting a low-level inflammatory response, which allows the gel to fully integrate into the joint structure. Treating concurrently with corticosteroids may suppress this macrophage-driven response and delay fibroblast migration, which makes it counterintuitive to treat together. Corticosteroids can hinder the integration process, so careful consideration is needed.

That said, retrospective data suggests that concurrent use does not always affect outcomes, so the decision comes down to the individual case. If only one treatment opportunity is available, injecting both at the same time may be acceptable. For ongoing cases, we recommend administering steroids first if the joint is severely inflamed to manage pain and allow the joint to settle down before following up with ArthramidVet two weeks later. Alternatively, ArthramidVet can be used first, but a 2-week interval between treatments is preferred.

It’s also important to remember that treating is only part of the puzzle—how the horse is managed is crucial. If a horse is lame, it’s lame for a reason, and rehabilitation is key. What we love about ArthramidVet is that it gives veterinarians a chance to treat, spend time rehabbing the horse, and come back to re-examine. Does the horse need a top-up dose? Should we adjust the treatment regime? This flexibility makes ArthramidVet a vital tool in equine joint care.

Regardless of your horse’s discipline or breed, joint stress is inevitable. The demands placed on the joints during training and competition make it impossible to completely prevent wear and tear, but for horses experiencing lameness localised to a joint, ArthramidVet offers a highly effective treatment option.

Conditions suitable for ArthramidVet include those identified through clinical examination, intra-articular analgesia, and diagnostic tools such as radiography, ultrasound, MRI, CT, or scintigraphy.

If your horse is dealing with acute or chronic synovitis, capsulitis, meniscal tears, osteoarthritis, or subchondral bone cysts, ArthramidVet may provide significant relief.

A synovitis or osteoarthritis diagnosis can be daunting for many horse owners, often leaving them wondering if they’re going to have to retire their horse from riding or competition.

The good news is there are ways to manage OA in horses and slow the disease process. However, as with many degenerative diseases, early detection and treatment is key to ensure your horse stays moving freely for years to come.

Here are our top tips to effectively manage OA in horses:

1. Maintain a Healthy Weight: Reducing excess weight minimises stress on the joints, slowing OA progression.

2. Regular, Controlled Exercise: Consistent exercise at an intensity that is right for the horse keeps joints mobile and muscles strong.

3. Joint Supplements: There is a range of supplements to support your horse depending on the severity of the disease. NSAIDs can help to manage pain and inflammation in horses with established OA, whereas products containing glucosamine and chondroitin can support overall joint health.

4. Joint Injections: Treating early in the disease process with a regenerative product, such as ArthramidVet, can help strengthen the joint and slow the onset of Osteoarthritis.

Joint disease and osteoarthritis can be frustrating and disheartening for owners, but having the tools to catch it early and manage it effectively can ensure your horses stays comfortable and sound for years to come.
