Active Ingredient: Phenylbutazone 200mg/mL

Pack Size: 500mL calibrated oral syringe

Brand: Equibute

Manufacturer: Luoda Pharma Pty Ltd

Product Description:

Equibute Oral Paste 500mL is a high-strength, prescription-only NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) used to relieve pain, inflammation, and fever in horses. Containing 200mg/mL of Phenylbutazone, it is particularly useful for managing musculoskeletal conditions such as lameness, arthritis, laminitis, tendonitis, and joint strain. The paste is easy to administer orally via a large-volume syringe with plunger markings for accurate dosing based on body weight. This 500mL pack is ideal for ongoing treatment courses or multiple-horse management.

Key Features:

  • Each mL delivers 200mg of Phenylbutazone
  • Used to treat pain, fever, and inflammation in horses
  • Effective for lameness, soft tissue injury, joint inflammation, and arthritis
  • Calibrated 500mL syringe for precision dosing and easy administration
  • Suitable for medium- to long-term use under veterinary supervision
  • Australian made and APVMA registered

Directions for Use:

Administer orally as directed by a veterinarian. A typical dose is 4.4mg/kg bodyweight daily, which equates to around 10mL for a 450–500kg horse. Dose may be divided into two smaller amounts (morning and evening) to reduce the risk of gastrointestinal upset. Do not exceed recommended dose or use duration.
