[RC] AERC drug policy - Steph Teeter4) <I know RC has had this discussion before...> Whatis/is not allowed in Joint Supplements? My current one has Yucca in it, which I know is not allowed,>> Just to clarify: The AERC drug policy ONLY applies to competition. You can give your horse anything you want except during competition (vet-in to post ride finish). However, you need to be aware of withdrawal times for substances that will test and/or stay in the system for any length of time. I believe bute can stay in the bloodstream for weeks at some level of detection, and other substances require several days. "It is advised that non-permissible substances not be given within 96 hours of the competition to minimize any likelihood of the substance being picked up on testing". Here is a list of SOME examples of permissible and non-permissible substances: Steph AERC: Permissible and Prohibited Drugs & Medications **this list is non all-inclusive!! Permissible substances (preceding and during competition): *vitamins *minerals *electrolytes *liniments that do not contain materials absorbed into the body (alcohol and Absorbine) *foodstuffs known as nutrients *nonabsorbable topical wound dressings *alcohol *ice and ice water *compounds to synchronize estrus ***************************************** Nonpermissible substances include: *any substance by injection or stomache tube *vitamins in megadoses *nutrient substances administered in doses to achive a pharmacologic effect (DMSO, DMG, yucca and MSM) *any anti-inflammatory, stimulus, depressants, analgesia, or analgesia-containing products such as procaine penicillin *antihistaminic *vasoactive *bronchodilator *masking substances (sulpha drugs, benzimadole wormers, thiamine injections) *dipyrone *lazix *trimethoprim *liminments that contain DMSO, menthol or camphor *E-SE =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
