Legend® Injectable Solution is indicated for intravenous administration. Give this medication to your horse only as directed by your veterinarian. Use aseptic techniques when withdrawing each dose to decrease the possibility of post-injection bacterial infections. Adequately clean and disinfect the stopper prior to entry with a sterile needle and syringe. Injectable medications require needles and syringes.  Those items are purchased separately.  Please ask your veterinarian for a recommendation for the correct needle/syringe sizes for your pet. Use only sterile needles/syringes and use each needle/syringe only once. Dispose the needle/syringe immediately in a proper sharps disposal container. Sharps containers are sold separately.

Give the dose as soon as possible. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose, and continue with the regular schedule. Do not give 2 doses at once.

Side effects may include local reactions manifested by heat, swelling, and/or effusion.  Effects generally subside within 24-48 hours, but can take up to 96 hours to resolve.

Other side effects may occur. If you notice anything unusual, contact your veterinarian.

There are no documented drug interactions with this medication. Make sure to tell your veterinarian what other medication you are giving to your pet.

Contact your veterinarian if your pet experiences any unusual reactions when different medications are given together.
