Doxidyl (deracoxib) 25mg Chewable Tablets

Effective Pain Relief for Dogs

Product Description

DOXIDYL 25 mg Chewable Tablets are prescription anti inflammatory medications made to ease pain and swelling in dogs. They contain deracoxib, a COX 2 selective inhibitor, and come in a beef flavored tablet that dogs usually take once a day. These tablets help manage discomfort from osteoarthritis and support healing after bone or dental surgery. With strong absorption when given by mouth, Doxidyl offers steady pain relief, helps improve movement, and makes recovery more comfortable.

Benefits

• Targeted COX 2 Action: Works by blocking COX 2 enzymes that cause inflammation, while leaving the body’s normal protective functions largely unaffected.
• Osteoarthritis Support: Helps ease pain and swelling from osteoarthritis, making it easier for dogs to move and stay active each day.
• Post Surgery Comfort: Reduces pain and inflammation after bone or dental procedures to support a smoother recovery.
• High Absorption: More than 90 percent of the medication is absorbed at the recommended dose, helping provide steady results throughout the body.
• Tasty Chewable Tablet: Beef flavored and scored for easier giving and flexible dosing.
• Once a Day Dosing: Given just once daily, making it simple to stay on schedule and maintain consistent relief.
