Equioxx Tablets for Horses (57 mg), 180 Ct: Effective Osteoarthritis Pain Management

Overview

EQUIOXX for horses is a revolutionary COXIB class non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication. It effectively controls pain and inflammation associated with equine osteoarthritis, providing relief for up to 24 hours with each dose.
