Hypothetically speaking, say some had an unused prescription for Adequan for a horse they no longer have, and got a new performance horse that they would otherwise be putting on in-feed joint supplements, would it be a bad idea to just use the Adequan on the new horse without having the vet come to the farm to examine him? From what I hear there are very few (or no) negative side affects of intramuscular Adequan, and no contraindications that I know of, has anyone heard otherwise?

Keep in mind that Adequan is a short term solution. I have and do use it for my horses. However I use it as a boost before a show or if the horse needs a bit extra. I normally use Injectable Glucosamine and find that works the bests long term.

Would I use it if it was a left over and on a horse that I would normally use it on? Yes if it was not out dated. Would I use it on a horse that was doing fine on the Injectable Glucosamien? No probably not.
