Did you know Arthramid® can be used in any synovial joint showing signs of osteoarthritis?

Whether it’s pain, swelling, reduced range of motion, or lameness confirmed through diagnostic imaging (like X-rays, ultrasound, or MRI), Arthramid® is an effective treatment option.

- Suitable for early stages like synovitis and capsular stiffness
- Proven effective in advanced or chronic osteoarthritis

Before treatment, it’s important to review the horse’s medical history to ensure safe and appropriate use, including checking for signs of infection, current medications, recent surgeries, or fractures.

Give your horse the joint support they need to stay comfortable and perform at their best, talk to your veterinarian about Arthramid®

Keeping your performance horse at its peak starts with prioritizing joint health. Lameness caused by osteoarthritis (OA) can cut promising careers short—but Arthramid® is transforming joint care and setting a new standard.

Unlike traditional treatments that only mask the pain, Arthramid® targets the root cause. Its advanced 2.5% iPAAG hydrogel works from within, repairing and strengthening the joint, restoring elasticity, improving joint fluid quality, and helping the joint return to homeostasis—all while breaking the cycle of inflammation that leads to OA.

The result? Long-lasting relief, enhanced mobility, and improved performance.

Your horse deserves the best. Talk to your veterinarian about Arthramid® today!

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

We often get questions about whether Arthramid 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 Arthramid® in both humans and animals, with over 20 years of use in human medicine. Unlike other treatments, Arthramid’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.

Is Arthramid the Key to Preventing Joint-Related Lameness in Racing and Sport Horses?

Osteoarthritis is a progressive and degenerative condition that often leaves veterinarians revisiting the same horse for recurring lameness. This cycle continues as the temporary effects of traditional treatments—like corticosteroids and hyaluronic acid—wear off, until these options are no longer an effective or viable option for the horse.

Arthramid offers longer-lasting relief from lameness in comparison with traditional treatments due to its unique mode of action. By integrating into the joint capsule to create a bio-scaffold, Arthramid strengthens the joint, giving veterinarians, owners, and trainers the opportunity to manage osteoarthritis and degenerative joint disease more proactively and effectively.

Dr Jason Lowe encourages veterinarians to use Arthramid as a preventative measure, treating horses before lameness occurs. Administering Arthramid at the start of the racing preparation or competition season allows for:

- Reduced instances of lameness
- Increased safety for both horse and rider through enhanced joint stability
- Consistency in training and performance with fewer interruptions

Unlike traditional therapies, Arthramid is not a short-term solution. It represents a long-term approach to managing joint pain and osteoarthritis, requiring a shift in how veterinarians and trainers think about treatment and prevention.

When treating any joint-related condition, an accurate diagnosis is essential to fully assess the severity of the disease and ensure ArthramidVet is used only for the indicated conditions. ArthramidVet is suitable for most cases of acute or chronic synovitis, capsulitis, meniscal tears, osteoarthritis, or subchondral bone cysts. Here are a few considerations to determine if ArthramidVet is the right option for your horse:

✔️ Non-infectious cause of lameness localized to the joint through clinical examination and diagnostic tools, such as intra-articular analgesia, radiography, ultrasound, MRI, CT, or scintigraphy.

✔️ Diagnosis of acute or chronic synovitis, capsulitis, meniscal tears, osteoarthritis, or subchondral bone cysts.

✔️ Suitable for cases where other treatments may be contraindicated due to metabolic conditions or advanced age.

✔️ Optimal long-term outcomes are achieved when treatment is administered early in the disease process.

As a veterinary-only product, consult your veterinarian to discuss if ArthramidVet could benefit your horse.
