Laminitis
By Patty D'Andrea,
PATH Intl. Equine Welfare Committee member
Laminitis ... the word can cause fear in the strongest of horse people.
The cause of the condition is often unknown. Some common culprits are
high sugar intake from early spring grass or late summer grass, over
consumption of grain or new feed, concussion or Cushing's syndrome. Read more.

Renovations
Limit Adequan Supply
|
|
|
Due to renovations to the
Luitpold Pharmaceuticals factory in Shirley, NY, supplies of Adequan�
i.m., the only polysulfated glycosaminoglycan (PSGAG) approved by the
Food and Drug Administration (FDA), are expected to be limited over
the coming months. According to its press release, "Our factory in
NY has undergone a significant renovation to meet enhanced quality
standards and address observations of the FDA. This has resulted in the
depletion of our existing inventories. We have carefully managed supply
to allocate inventory optimally, but the product will be out of stock for
a short period of time. We expect to resume shipments of the 5 mL in
early July, followed by the 50 mL in August."
For the most recent updates on expected release dates of product, visit
the Adequan websites at www.adequan.com or www.nogenericadequan.com
or call customer service at (800) 458-0163.
