Absorbine Veterinary Liniment for Equines

Absorbine Veterinary Liniment has been helping horse owners for more than 120 years to care for their equine family. Whether you are a professional horse trainer or simply ride for pleasure, Absorbine Veterinary Liniment is a definite must for cooling a tired horse, relieving pain and stiffness after a work-out, or treating the symptoms of arthritis. It is also very effective as a hoof and skin disinfectant for treating abscesses, thrush, scratches, and summer or tail Itch.

How the Active Ingredients in Absorbine Veterinary Liniment Work

Menthol is the first active ingredient that brings cooling relief to sore, aching muscles as it causes blood vessels to widen so blood flow is increased. Menthol fools your skin cells into thinking the temperature is cold which helps relieve the heat of inflammation.

The second active ingredient in Absorbine Veterinary Liniment is Chloroxylenol, which works as an antibacterial by disrupting the process bacteria use to store energy as a fuel source so bacteria will ultimately die.

Iodine, the third active ingredient, is the most effective broad-spectrum antiseptic with low toxicity for treating and preventing germs from causing problems for your horses. You will not need a prescription to buy Absorbine Veterinary Liniment; it is an over the counter product.

Conditions Treated by Absorbine Veterinary Liniment

Many attentive horse owners will use Absorbine Veterinary Liniment regularly to prevent infections from fungus and bacteria. Even a simple fly bite can cause an infection if not treated quickly. Hoof care is extremely important as horses hooves are exposed to standing water, manure, soil, and whatever else they find to walk through. A weekly foot bath can help keep hooves healthy as the Absorbine Veterinary Liniment penetrates into the horses’ porous hoof sole and frog. Absorbine Veterinary Liniment also contains herbal oils to give your horse’s coat a healthy sheen while sweat and dirt are washed away.

Before Using Absorbine Veterinary Liniment
