How Does Rimadyl Chewable Tablets Work?

• Rimadyl works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals in the body responsible for inflammation and pain.
• By blocking these chemicals, Carprofen reduces inflammation, alleviates pain, and helps improve joint function, allowing your dog to move more freely. 
• This mechanism not only eases symptoms but also helps prevent further joint damage, making it ideal for both acute injuries and chronic conditions like arthritis.

Dosage and Administration 

Recommended Dosage

• Administer Rimadyl Chewable Tablets 75 mg once daily or split into two doses, as per your veterinarian's instructions. 
• The typical dosage is 2 mg per pound of body weight. 
• Consistent dosing at the same time each day ensures maximum efficacy and reduces the risk of missed doses.

Consistency

• For chronic conditions like arthritis, consistent daily administration is crucial to maintaining your dog’s comfort and mobility. 
• Missing doses or irregular administration can lead to a return of symptoms, reducing the overall effectiveness of the treatment.

Side Effects of Rimadyl Chewable Tablets 

Common Side Effects: Some dogs may experience mild side effects such as vomiting, diarrhea, or appetite changes.

Serious Side Effects: In rare cases, Rimadyl can cause more serious reactions like gastrointestinal ulcers, liver or kidney issues. Monitor your dog closely for any signs of distress and consult your vet immediately if symptoms arise.

Precautions

• Before starting Rimadyl, inform your veterinarian of any pre-existing conditions, such as liver or kidney disease, and any other medications your dog is taking.

• Not for Pregnant or Nursing Dogs: Rimadyl is not recommended for use in pregnant or lactating dogs, as its effects on unborn puppies or nursing pups are not well understood.
• Monitor for Allergic Reactions: If your dog shows signs of an allergic reaction (e.g., swelling, hives, difficulty breathing), discontinue use immediately and contact your vet.
• Do Not Combine with Other NSAIDs or Corticosteroids: Using Rimadyl alongside other NSAIDs or corticosteroids increases the risk of gastrointestinal ulcers, kidney issues, and other severe side effects.
