Ekyflogyl Gel for Horses is a unique, topical corticosteroid gel designed specifically for horses suffering from localised musculoskeletal disorders. 125ml Ekyflogyl Gel is the only topical corticosteroid gel for horses licensed in the UK.
Musculoskeletal disorders are a common ailment in horses, with a significant percentage of horses developing at least one kind of musculoskeletal disorder during their lifetime. These disorders can cause inflammation and pain, affecting the horse's mobility and quality of life. Ekyflogyl for Horses offers a targeted solution to these issues, providing relief from pain and inflammation associated with conditions such as tendinitis, splints, arthritis, desmitis, muscle strain, and haematoma.
Ekyflogyl Gel for Horses has a unique composition of three key ingredients: prednisolone, lidocaine, and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Prednisolone is a deep-acting corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, providing relief from pain and reducing inflammation. Lidocaine is a fast-acting local anaesthetic, offering immediate relief by directly acting on pain transmission. DMSO promotes the penetration of these active substances through the skin, ensuring the effective delivery of the treatment to the affected area.

Chanazone Powder for Horses - 1g Sachet
Chanazone for Horses is an oral non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory medicine (an NSAID) used in horses when both pain relief and a reduction in associated inflammation are required. It is commonly prescribed for musculoskeletal conditions, where inflammation within joints or surrounding soft tissues can make movement uncomfortable and slow down rehabilitation.
VETERINARY PRESCRIPTION REQUIRED
When a horse is sore, the body naturally “guards” the painful area by shortening the stride, shifting weight, and tightening the surrounding muscles. Over time, that compensation can overload other structures, encourage stiffness, and make it harder for the horse to move freely. Chanazone can help a horse rest, move, and eat more normally, which are all important parts of recovery.
The active ingredient in Chanazone for Horses is phenylbutazone, an NSAID that reduces pain and inflammation by limiting the production of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are chemical messengers the body makes in response to tissue injury; they contribute to pain signalling, the widening of blood vessels, and the leakage of fluid into tissues that leads to swelling (oedema). Phenylbutazone works by inhibiting cyclo‑oxygenase (COX) enzymes involved in prostaglandin synthesis. In practical terms, Chanazone for Horses can reduce pain (analgesia), decrease inflammatory swelling, and improve comfort so that a horse can bear weight more evenly and move with a more natural gait. It does not “mask” injury in the sense of fixing the cause, so a diagnosis, appropriate rest, controlled exercise, farriery, and other veterinary treatments remain important. However, when pain is better controlled, horses are often calmer and easier to manage, which helps owners provide the consistent care that musculoskeletal problems usually need.
