I don’t know if you’ve heard, but Adequan® is on manufacturer’s backorder. That’s because the company that makes the product is renovating their manufacturing facility to, “Address observations made by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration(FDA).” According to information that I got in the mail – along with, presumably, every other veterinarian on the planet – that means that Adequan® isn’t going to be available until sometime in 2014 (obviously, given that this is their big product, the manufacturer hopes it will be sooner than later).
As a result of this, a few people have asked me, “What do I do?” They’ve wondered about substitutes. The fact of the matter is that there is no other product that is exactly Adequan®, so, for better or worse, you’re not going to be able to give your horse the same thing (assuming that you want to give your horse the stuff – more on that later).
