Can it help a horse with sesamoiditis?

Hello tentpeg,
I would expect the same effect I describe above for navicular disease. For more see the article associated with this section.

Correct me if I am wrong -
Sesamoiditis is caused by excess growth of the sesamoids. So if Isoxsuprine can increase bloodflow, can the sesamoids be reshaped back into their normal size?

You would be incorrect tentpeg from two standpoints. One, sesamoiditis is inflammation of the sesamoids, the cause of the inflammation can be a myriad of possibilities but often related to overwork of the bone or attaching ligaments. Two, the point of the above post of mine is that increased circulation was not found at commonly used doses in experiments designed to detect this.
