Side effects from intra-articular administration can include joint pain, swelling, lameness, and, rarely, infection of the joint. Intramuscular injection can cause dose-dependent inflammation and bleeding, since PSGAG is an analogue of the anticoagulant heparin. [4] In dogs, this may manifest as bleeding from the nose or as bloody stools. [7]
The degree of these effects in horses after intramuscular injection has relatively little support in the current literature. [35] However, there is much anecdotal evidence of their benefits for synovitis and osteoarthritis, and PSGAGs are very commonly used by veterinarians in the United States involved in racehorse and show horse practice.

The diuretic effects are put to use most commonly in horses to prevent bleeding during a race. In the United States of America, under the racing rules of most states, horses that bleed from the nostrils (exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage) three times are permanently barred from racing. Sometime in the early 1970s, furosemide's ability to ...

In the United States and United Kingdom, it is no longer approved for human use (except in the United Kingdom for ankylosing spondylitis), as it can cause severe adverse effects such as suppression of white blood cell production and ...
The drug possess a biological half-life of 14 days when administered by intramuscular injection. [1] Boldenone is a substrate for 5α-reductase and may be converted by this enzyme into 1-testosterone (δ 1 -dihydrotestosterone, δ 1 -DHT, dihydroboldenone) in tissues that express it such as the skin , hair follicles , and prostate gland .

The number of med spas and hydration clinics has ballooned, turning into a $15 billion wellness industry. Warnings about risky IV drips and injections are also growing.
In horses, this includes gastric ulcers, [8] right dorsal colitis, [9] and nephrotoxicity. [10] Flunixin is a prohibited substance under International Federation for Equestrian Sports rules, [11] and its use is prohibited or restricted by many other equestrian organizations. At labeled dose (1.1 mg/kg) given IV, detection time was found to be ...
Jumps racing has long been steeped in controversy due to its high mortality rate. This brand of racing requires Thoroughbred horses to leap over a succession of fences and are generally run over longer distances. There are both hurdles (generally shorter with lower obstacles), and steeplechases (generally longer with higher obstacles).
