Cartrophen Vet Injectable is a veterinary treatment designed to support dogs suffering from arthritis and degenerative joint disease. It contains pentosan polysulphate sodium, an active ingredient that promotes cartilage repair, improves joint lubrication, and reduces inflammation.
Arthritis and degenerative joint disease are common conditions in ageing dogs and those with joint abnormalities. These conditions cause pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility, affecting a dog’s quality of life. Cartrophen Vet works by targeting the underlying causes of joint degeneration, helping to slow the progression of the disease and improve comfort.
Cartrophen Vet is administered as a series of injections by a veterinary professional. The treatment helps protect and restore joint function, allowing dogs to remain active for longer.
How Cartrophen Vet Works
Cartrophen Vet contains pentosan polysulphate sodium, a disease-modifying osteoarthritis drug (DMOAD) that works in multiple ways to support joint health. It helps to improve blood flow to joint tissues, promoting healing and reducing the breakdown of cartilage.
The active ingredient stimulates the production of proteoglycans, essential components of cartilage that help maintain joint structure and function. By increasing proteoglycan production, Cartrophen Vet supports the repair of damaged cartilage and slows further degeneration.
Pentosan polysulphate sodium also enhances joint lubrication by increasing the production of synovial fluid. This helps to reduce friction between joint surfaces, improving mobility and decreasing discomfort.
Cartrophen Vet has anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce swelling and pain in affected joints. Unlike non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which primarily focus on symptom relief, Cartrophen Vet addresses the underlying causes of arthritis and degenerative joint disease.
