As a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), Equipalazone works by inhibiting the enzymes responsible for producing prostaglandins, the chemicals that trigger pain and swelling. This makes it an essential treatment for conditions such as laminitis and osteoarthritis. Because this version is unflavoured, it is ideal for horses that may be sensitive to additives or those who prefer their medication mixed discreetly into their usual feed.
