Prascend (aka: the med in the pink box)

For those of you that own or care for horses with Equine Cushing's Disease, you are now very familiar with this pink box or will soon be!

Prascend is an FDA approved pergolide mesylate made by Boehringer Ingelheim. Not only has it been proven in studies to be more effective than the previously prescribed compounded pergolide, but Kendyl and many of our clients have also seen the positive effects of Prascend first hand!

The most common question or concern we get about Prascend is ... cost. Yes, Prascend does cost a lot more than compounded pergolide, but we feel that these higher costs have many advantages that outweigh the inconsistencies of the compounded, unregulated form.  Just to name a few of Prascend's advantages: more consistent product overall, more stable and longer guaranteed shelf life, more effective in treating Equine Cushing's, much safer for our four-legged friends, and lowers long-term treatment costs for secondary Cushing's related ailments (laminitis, etc).

At this time, Prascend is only available in a tablet form and each tablet contains 1 mg of pergolide mesylate.  It is sold in boxes of 60 tablets or 160 tablets.
