  • Title: [Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) in horses: a literature review].
    Author: Douwes RA, van der Kolk JH.
    Journal: Tijdschr Diergeneeskd; 1998 Feb 01; 123(3):74-80. PubMed ID: 9537081.
    Abstract:
    The use of dimethyl sulphoxide in equine medicine is discussed with special reference to trauma of the central nervous system, chronic endometritis, trauma of the locomotor apparatus, and ischaemic bowel pathophysiology. The ability of dimethyl sulphoxide to reduce connective tissue formation might be of interest in abdominal surgery. The anti-inflammatory effect of dimethyl sulphoxide is used in the treatment of muscle trauma, tendinitis, laminitis, and arthritis. Dimethyl sulphoxide can potentiate the effects of other drugs. The most common dose is 1 g/kg body weight intravenously up to a 40%-solution with a maximum duration of treatment of 5 days. Dimethyl sulphoxide has not been approved for use in horses in the Netherlands.
