Danilon Equidos Gold 1.5 g for horses

PRESCRIPTION NEEDED (Pom-V)

Danilon Equidos Gold 1.5 g for horses is a prescription only (POM-V) non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to manage pain and inflammation in horses. Painful conditions such as joint disease, soft tissue injury or certain laminitic episodes can seriously affect a horse’s comfort, mobility and performance. Danilon is one of the medicines vets may choose as part of a wider treatment plan to help keep horses more comfortable while underlying problems are addressed.

Danilon Equidos Gold 1.5 g for horses is supplied as palatable oral granules that are usually mixed with a small amount of feed. This makes it easier to give, especially for horses that are not keen on tablets or injections. The active ingredient is an NSAID that helps reduce inflammatory processes in the body, which in turn can lessen pain, swelling and stiffness. Your vet will calculate the correct dose based on your horse’s weight, clinical condition and overall health.

Because Danilon Equidos Gold 1.5 g for horses is a POM-V medicine, it can only be supplied on a veterinary prescription and must only be used for the horse named on that prescription. Your vet will have examined your horse, taken a history and, where necessary, carried out investigations before deciding that an NSAID such as Danilon is appropriate. In many cases, this medicine is used alongside other measures such as rest, controlled exercise, physiotherapy, hoof care or changes in management.

Danilon Equidos Gold 1.5 g for horses is generally given once or twice daily by mouth, exactly as directed on the label. It is important to measure the dose carefully and ensure that the full amount is consumed. You should not increase the dose, give extra sachets or extend the treatment period without speaking to your vet, as this can increase the risk of side effects. If a dose is missed, or if your horse does not finish the medicated feed, contact your vet for advice rather than guessing.

While your horse is on Danilon Equidos Gold 1.5 g, your vet may recommend regular check-ups to monitor progress. They will assess your horse’s level of pain, mobility, appetite, attitude and any underlying condition being treated. In some cases, blood tests or other investigations may be advised, especially if long-term NSAID use is required or if your horse has other health concerns. Any changes in behaviour, appetite, droppings or general demeanour should be reported promptly so your vet can decide whether treatment needs to be adjusted.

Like all NSAIDs, Danilon Equidos Gold 1.5 g for horses can occasionally cause side effects. Not every horse will experience problems, but potential concerns include gut upset or, in rare cases, effects on the kidneys or other organs. Your vet will weigh the benefits and risks before prescribing and will advise you what to look out for. You should contact your vet straight away if your horse shows signs such as ongoing inappetence, colic, diarrhoea, unusual dullness or any other worrying changes after starting Danilon.

For competition and racehorses, withdrawal periods and rules set by governing bodies must also be observed. Your vet will advise you about competition regulations and how long Danilon must be stopped before an event to comply with current rules. This is separate from any withdrawal periods that apply if your horse is entering the food chain, which are also clearly defined and must be followed exactly.

Danilon Equidos Gold 1.5 g for horses should be stored in a cool, dry place, in its original packaging and out of sight and reach of children and animals. Any unused or expired medicine should be returned to your vet or pharmacist for safe disposal and must not be put into household waste or poured down drains.

Used as part of a complete management plan designed by your vet, Danilon Equidos Gold 1.5 g for horses can be an important tool in improving comfort and mobility in horses with painful inflammatory conditions. Always follow veterinary instructions closely and do not change or stop treatment without discussing it with your vet.
