I’m posting this for a fellow horse friend who isn’t familiar with YA. I have my personal opinions on joint injections, even I.M. ones…however my friend would really like to get as much input as possible as she continues to research it herself. Thanks.

Well, knowing you, you already know anything I'm going to tell you. I can't find anything to put up a red flag over. Used as advised, it shows no toxicity, no contraindications, and is effective. It hasn't been established as safe for use in breeding stock, and should not be combined with other solutions/drugs. It is used for a period of time the vet prescribes, then either discontinued, or given as needed after that. NSAIDS can be given while on it, and that's about all I can find that matters. It is supposed to go beyond the usual joint supplements and actually inhiit destructive enzymes. I have no personal experience with it to go on.
