Natural antiinflammatories

Dimanche 02 Octobre 2022

The joints, tendons, ligaments and musculature of the horse are constantly under stress. If the demand of exercise exceeds the body's ability to adapt, an injury may occur, which almost always begins with inflammation.
The objective is to prevent this inflammation to avoid further damage and to relieve the horse's pain.

Studies show that prolonged administration of conventional antiinflammatories causes accelerated joint deterioration. Antiinflammatories such as corticosteroids or NSAIDs mask the pain, so the body does not recognize the injury and does not initiate repair. Furthermore, prolonged administration of these drugs is not recommended because they can affect the liver and kidneys.

From Girovet, we offer you a wide range of oral and topical antiinflammatories to improve the horse's well-being naturally and with the peace of mind of being able to administer them without fearing side effects.
