Overview
Is your horse suffering pain or inflammation because of an injury or laminitis?
AbButazone alleviates inflammation and pain associated with musculoskeletal disorders in adult horses. Phenylbutazone (the active ingredient in AbButazone), is a non-steroidal, analgesic agent with anti-inflammatory (NSAIDs) and antipyretic activity.
Sucralfate binds to gastrointestinal mucosa, and acts as a "band-aid" to the ulcer crater, offering relief from pain associated with ulcers.
Each dose of AbSucralfate is effective for 6-8 hours.
Features:
- Available in granule form.
- Easy to measure and feed.
