PrintAccording to a statement from Equine Canada, the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug Vedaprofen has been banned from Equine Canada sanctioned competitions.
The rule goes into effect on June 1. As a result, horses competing in Equine Canada sanctioned competitions after that date who present a positive test result for Vedaprofen will be sanctioned as per the Equine Canada penalty tables and drug classification system as a Class III offense.
Equine Canada is recommending a withdrawal time of at least 72 hours after the last administration of Vedaprofen. Visit Equine Canada’s Medication Control site for more information.
