Appendix – Formulary

This formulary provides a concise reference to essential drugs and dosages for equine practice, emphasizing the importance of selecting products approved for horses and following label instructions. The formulary outlines dosing, routes of administration, and indications for key drug classes, including sedatives, anesthetics, analgesics, anti-inflammatories, antimicrobials, antiparasitics, and hormonal therapies. Some agents lack equine-specific licensing; therefore, practitioners should consult guidelines and current scientific literature before administration. Special attention is given to antimicrobial stewardship, discouraging the use of critically important human antibiotics except under exceptional circumstances and guided by culture and susceptibility. This resource supports evidence-based, safe, and effective pharmacological management, promoting responsible prescribing and optimal patient outcomes in equine medicine.
