Benefits of Novox Caplets

• Effective Pain Relief: Reduces pain associated with osteoarthritis, hip dysplasia, and other joint conditions.
• Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Helps decrease inflammation, improving your dog’s mobility and quality of life.
• Post-Operative Care: Supports faster recovery and reduces discomfort following surgery.
• Veterinarian Recommended: Widely prescribed for its safety and efficacy in managing chronic pain and inflammation in dogs.

How It Works

Carprofen works by inhibiting the enzymes cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), which play a key role in the production of prostaglandins—substances responsible for pain, inflammation, and fever.

By reducing the levels of prostaglandins, Carprofen effectively alleviates pain and reduces inflammation, helping to improve your dog’s mobility and overall comfort. This makes it particularly effective in treating conditions like osteoarthritis and providing relief from post-surgical pain.
