Use of the product on an ongoing basis influences the underlying disease processes occurring in arthritis, reducing pain and helping regenerate damaged joint components.
Dosage and administration
- 3 mg pentosan polysulphate sodium / kg bodyweight (equivalent to 0.3 ml/10kg bodyweight) on four occasions, with an interval of 5-7 days.

•Do not use in known cases of hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients.
•Do not use in the skeletally immature dog (i.e. dogs whose long bone growth plates have not closed).
•As pentosan polysulphate has an anticoagulant effect, do not use in dogs with blood disorders, coagulation disorders, bleeding, trauma or malignancy (especially haemangiosarcoma) or during the peri-operative period within 6 – 8 hours of surgery..
•Do not use in arthritides of immunological origin (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis).
A clinical effect may not be observed until after the second injection of osteopen in the course of treatment.
