| Precautions | Any blood vessel, even a small one, will bleed more freely and for longer if a track of pentosan polysulfate is left as the needle is withdrawn. Hence the advice that, when injected intra-articularly, the needle should be ‘washed’ with joint fluid before withdrawal. |

| Storage | Store between 2 and 8°C. (Refrigerate. Do not freeze.) Protect from light. Shelf life: 24 months. |
| Warnings | Pentosan polysulfate has anticoagulant properties. Blood is the most usual cause of sudden inflammatory swelling following intra-articular injection. Even a small amount may be reactive. Owners should be advised that a transitory swelling may occur in approximately 5% of cases and that the action of Arthropen Vet 250 Injection is unaffected by this complication. |
| Withholding Period | Meat 28 days. |

Important information to know when ordering prescription medicines
A prescription is required from your veterinarian before we can supply this product.
If this is a new prescription, to enable immediate dispensing, please ask the vet to send a copy of the prescription to us prior to mailing it.
If the original prescription is in your possession, then please upload this to your pet's profile in VetRx prior to mailing it.
Please note that we must receive either a copy of the prescription from the vet, or the original prescription before we can dispatch your order. This does unfortunately add to the order processing time, however this is a requirement placed upon all pharmacies by the Health Regulators.
Only once a conformant electronic prescription system is approved by NSW Health, will we be able to end the need for paper prescriptions.
How Much Does Shipping Cost?
Small orders (less than 500g) cost $9.90 to be delivered anywhere in Australia. For larger orders, shipping costs are calculated on distance and weight (leaving Sydney) and an exact price can be obtained in the shopping cart prior to checkout.
Pet Pharmacy Australia applies a shipping discount on orders over $150. A discount of $9.90 is automatically applied during checkout. Additional shipping costs for bulky goods or priority delivery are paid by the customer.
The weight limit for Australia Post is 22kg and orders that weigh more than this cannot be shipped. We recommend placing multiple smaller orders to work around this problem.
