Surpass Topical Anti-Inflammatory Cream
1% diclofenac sodium
Surpass 1% Topical Anti-Inflammatory Cream is indicated for the control of pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis in tarsal, carpal, metacarpophalangeal, metatarsophalangeal and proximal interphalangeal (hock, knee, fetlock and pastern) joints in horses.
Surpass Topical Cream contains 1% diclofenac sodium. Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with analgesic properties. The mechanism of action of diclofenac, like other NSAIDs, is believed to be associated with the inhibition of cyclooxygenase activity.
Dosage and Administration:
Apply a 5 inch ribbon of Surpass Topical Cream twice daily over the affected joint for up to ten days. Wear rubber gloves to prevent absorption into the hands. Rub the cream thoroughly into the hair covering the joint until it disappears.
Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian
