Indications

Arthropen Vet Injection is a sterile solution formulated as an aid in the treatment and prevention of non-infectious inflammatory
joint disease in dogs.
1. Osteoarthritis – especially in conditions affecting multiple joints or where the source of the lameness cannot be identified.
2. Osteochondrosis dissecans.
3. Traumatic joint disease and periarticular inflammation in dogs.
4. Periarticular inflammation.
Pharmacology
Pentosan polysulfate sodium is a semi-synthetic polysaccharide polymer that possesses anti-inflammatory,
anti-arthritic and chondroprotective properties. These beneficial effects arise from:
1. Direct anti-inflammatory activity.
2. Inhibition of neutrophil migration into joints.
3. Stimulation of hyaluronic acid synthesis by synovial fibroblasts which results in a marked increase in synovial
volume and viscosity.
4. Stimulation of chondrocytes and the biosynthesis of proteoglycans.
5. Strong fibrinolytic activity which improves the circulation of subchondral bone and peri-articular structures.
6. Reduction in bone oedema. where to Buy Arthropen Pentosan Vet for sale online Australia
