Control pain and inflammation in dogs with Rimadyl 75mg

While there is no cure for arthritis in dogs, Rimadyl (Carprofen)75mg, 180 Caplets can help control pain and restore your dog's activity levels and quality of life. This product belongs to the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) class of medications. But unlike other pain relievers, Rimadyl is designed specifically for dogs and is FDA-approved. In fact, Rimadyl Caplets and Chewable Tablets are the number one prescribed NSAID for canine pain relief in the world.

Rimadyl works by inhibiting COX-2, an enzyme that plays a role in the body's inflammatory response. By controling pain and inflammation caused by arthritis, hip dysplasia, or other joint abnormalities, your pet may be able to return to their original levels of energy and activity. Many veterinarians also prescribe Rimadyl to control post-operative pain following orthopedic or soft tissue procedures.

Directions

For oral administration, the manufacturer's recommended dose is 2 mg of Rimadyl per 1 lb of bodyweight (4.4 mg/kg) given every 24 hours. However, the dose can be divided and given every 12 hours as 1 mg per 1 lb of bodyweight (2.2 mg/kg). However, always follow your veterinarian's specific instructions for administering Rimadyl to your pet.

Remember, Rimadyl Caplets and Chewable Tablets are for use in dogs only. Do not administer to cats or other animals. Keep out of reach of pets and children.
