Product Details

Equisolon 300mg Oral Powder for Horses is indicated for the alleviation of inflammatory and clinical parameters associated with recurrent airway obstruction (RAO) in horses, in combination with environmental control.

Contraindications

Do not use in known cases of hypersensitivity to the active substance, to corticosteroids or to any of the excipients.
Do not use in viral infections during the viraemic stage or in cases of systemic mycotic infections. Do not use in animals suffering from gastrointestinal ulcers.

Do not use in animals suffering from corneal ulcers. Do not use during pregnancy.

Special warnings

Corticoid administration is to induce an improvement in clinical signs rather than a cure. The treatment should be combined with environmental control.
Each case should be assessed individually by the veterinarian and an appropriate treatment program determined. Treatment with prednisolone should only be initiated when satisfactory alleviation of clinical symptoms have not been obtained or are unlikely to be obtained by environmental control alone.

Treatment with prednisolone may not sufficiently restore respiratory function in all cases, and in each individual case the use of medicinal products with more rapid onset of action may need to be considered.

 

Special precautions for use

Special precautions for use in animals:
Do not use in animals suffering from diabetes mellitus, renal insufficiency, cardiac insufficiency, hyperadrenocorticism, or osteoporosis.
Use of corticosteroids in horses has been reported to induce laminitis. Therefore horses should be monitored frequently during the treatment period.
Because of the pharmacological properties of prednisolone, use with caution when the veterinary medicinal product is used in animals with a weakened immune system.

Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals:
People with known hypersensitivity to corticosteroids or any of the excipients must not be in contact with the veterinary medicinal product.

Due to the risk of foetal malformation, the veterinary medicinal product must not be administered by pregnant women.
It is recommended to wear gloves and a protective mask during handling and administration of the product.

In order to prevent dust formation, do not shake the veterinary medicinal product

 

Use during pregnancy

The safety of the veterinary medicinal product has not been established in horses during pregnancy, and the product is contraindicated for use in pregnant horses.
