Product description

Surpass is the only approved topical medication that modifies both clinical signs and progression of osteoarthritis.

Equine osteoarthritis – which used to be known commonly as degenerative joint disease – is a leading cause of equine lameness. The disease normally affects the leg joints or the synovial joints, including the hock, fetlock, pastern, coffin, stifle and knee. It can also involve the horse’s neck and back. It’s a chronic, degenerative disease that results in inflammation of the connective tissue that allows the joint to move smoothly and absorb shock from movement. The cartilage at the joints doesn’t get its own blood or nerve supply, which means that once it’s damaged, it can’t rebuild itself. Because of this breakdown, a horse’s joints will experience more friction and inflammation, causing pain, stiffness and potentially, lameness.

Surpass is the only FDA-approved topical proven safe and effective for relief of joint pain and inflammation associated with equine osteoarthritis.

Its unique formula using liposomal technology penetrates the tough skin barrier in a way that compounded alternatives don't. This means fewer applications and more relief for your horse.

Because of its innovative technology, Surpass specifically targets the affected joint, minimizing the risk of side effects that typically come with systemic NSAIDS.

Surpass doesn't just modify the symptoms of OA, it also modifies the disease itself.

Surpass topical cream for horses is effective and easy to use.

Active ingredients

1% diclofenac sodium.

Indications for use

Surpass topical cream is indicated for the control of pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis (OA) in tarsal, carpal, metacarpophalangeal, metatarsophalangeal and proximal interphalangeal (hock, knee, fetlock and pastern) joints in horses.

Administration and dosage

Apply a five-inch (5”) 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.
