This product is injectable Flunixin Meglumine/Banamine.  Banamine is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory Drug (NSAID) used as an analgesic (pain relief) and anti-pyretic (fever reducing) in horses.   It is used for many conditions such as pain relief from colic, trauma, musculoskeletal pain, reduction of soft tissue swelling and pain, and as an anti-inflammatory/anti-pyretic during infectious or inflammatory conditions.  It is generally not considered as effective as Phenylbutazone for lameness.

Dosage and Administration:

0.5mg/lb., IV, twice daily.  This is the same as 10cc IV twice daily.  Intramuscular (IM) banamine administration is not recommended as it has been associated with an increased risk of clostridial myositis infections. The daily dose should never surpass your horse’s weight and should only be given once in a twelve hour period.  If your horse weighs 1000 lbs. then you should not exceed 10 cc. twice daily.
