SURPASS (1% diclofenac sodium) Topical Anti-Inflammatory Cream delivers 12 hours of sustained release and only requires twice-daily application as opposed to other topicals which require applying the cream four to six times per day. SURPASS® is the only the only FDA-approved topical NSAID application in horses for the control of pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis (OA) in hock, knee, fetlock, and pastern joints in horses. It contains WISDOM™, which is a patented and proven multi-layered liposomal delivery technology exclusive to SURPASS. SURPASS provides enhanced delivery through the skin barrier.
