NexHA™ (hyaluronate sodium) Injectable Solution now available in a 3-vial box

FORT WORTH, TEXAS (July 1, 2026) – Vetoquinol USA, Inc., is now offering NexHA™ (hyaluronate sodium) Injectable Solution in a three-vial box. Previously, the product was available in a 12-vial box.

The company made the change after discussions with veterinarians and horse owners. The three-vial box makes ordering and inventory management simpler for clinics with a full protocol for a single horse.

Treatment with NexHA may be repeated at weekly intervals for a total of three treatments. Each vial contains 4 mL (40 mg) of solution for intravenous injection.

Intravenous administration of hyaluronate sodium is FDA-approved to help alleviate signs of lameness associated with equine osteoarthritis. NexHA can be used as part of veterinary management of equine joint conditions, with treatment decisions, including use with other therapies, made by a veterinarian.

Generic products, like NexHA, are produced under the same standards and have demonstrated bioequivalence to the brand-name product.1 Using affordable generics allows owners to invest in other important veterinary services.

The 12-vial box will continue to be sold until inventory is depleted. NexHA is a prescription-only product. Veterinarians can request NexHA from their Vetoquinol Territory Manager or preferred distributor representative.

NexHA™ (hyaluronate sodium) Injectable Solution is indicated in the treatment of joint dysfunction of the carpus or fetlock in horses due to non-infectious synovitis associated with equine osteoarthritis.
