How Does Etodolac Work?

• Etodolac works by inhibiting the enzymes (specifically COX-2) responsible for producing prostaglandins, the chemicals that cause inflammation, pain, and fever. 
• By selectively targeting these enzymes, Etodolac reduces inflammation and pain without significantly affecting COX-1, which helps maintain the protective lining of the stomach. 
• This targeted action helps decrease the risk of gastrointestinal side effects, making it a safer long-term option for managing chronic pain in dogs.

Dosage and Administration

General Dosing Guidelines

The standard dosing for Etodolac is:

• 10 mg – 15 mg per kilogram of body weight.

Dosage Adjustments

• Initial Dose: Your veterinarian may start with a specific dose within the general range.
• Adjustment: The dose can be adjusted based on your dog's response, finding the most effective dose that is well-tolerated.
• Long-Term Management: For ongoing pain relief, your veterinarian will aim to determine the lowest effective dose to manage your dog's symptoms while minimizing potential side effects.

Frequency

• Administer one Etodolac tablet daily, as prescribed by your veterinarian. 
• The once-daily dosage ensures that your dog receives consistent relief from pain and inflammation, simplifying the treatment regimen for pet owners.

Consistency

To achieve the best results, administer the medication at the same time each day. Consistent administration helps maintain steady levels of the drug in your dog’s system, providing continuous pain relief and reducing the likelihood of symptom flare-ups.
