How Are Adequan Injections Given? Adequan is a solution that is injected into a dog's muscle. The recommended treatment schedule is one injection every 3 or 4 days for a total of eight injections. Generally, injections are given by your veterinarian during an outpatient visit.
Dosing should only occur under strict supervision of a veterinarian. Typical doses range from 0.05 to 1 mg per pound (0.11 to 2 mg/kg) once a day to once a week. The duration of administration depends on the condition being treated, response to the medication and the development of any adverse effects.
How Much Does It Cost? One 5mL vial of Adequan costs $70.00 and contains five doses for Haley's weight of 50 pounds. So each monthly dose will cost around $14.00 after the initial loading series of shots is completed.
