The invention provides methods and compositions for the treatment of lameness, navicular syndrome, osteoarthritis, or combinations thereof in horses.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A method for treating lameness in a horse comprising topically administering to the horse a formulation comprising: 
 (a) about 0.1% to about 5% diclofenac; and    (b) about 0.5% to about 20% phospholipids;    whereby lameness in the horse is treated.    
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the formulation further comprises about 0.1% to about 10% vitamin E.  
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the formulation further comprises about 1% to about 20% alkylane glycol; and about 1% to about 50% (C 1 -C 6 ) alcohol.  
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the formulation comprises:

         15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the formulation further comprises about 0.1% to about 10% vitamin E.  
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the formulation further comprises about 1% to about 20% alkylane glycol; and about 1% to about 50% (C 1 -C 6 ) alcohol.  
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the formulation comprises: 
 (a) about 1% diclofenac salt,    (b) about 5% propylene glycol,    (c) about 6% ethanol,    (d) about 1% vitamin E acetate,    (e) about 10% phospholipid, and    (g) about 77% water.    
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the formulation comprises about 2 to about 10 micron liposomes.  
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the formulation is topically administered twice daily.  
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein about 20 mg to about 120 mg of diclofenac is applied as a single dose to the horse.
