Rimadyl (Carprofen) is the first FDA-approved NSAID (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) for the relief of pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis in dogs. Rimadyl works by blocking the production of certain body chemicals that cause inflammation. The nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory properties work to reduce joint inflammation while the analgesic properties work to reduce pain. Rimadyl has a history of trusted pain relief for dogs and is the most widely recognized & preferred name-brand non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) by veterinarians. Rimadyl is backed by over 25 years of Zoetis’ research and innovation in OA pain with 29 million dogs treated. Rimadyl keeps your dog happy and active with improved mobility. Taking Rimadyl at the recommended dose made it easier for dogs to do the activities they love most. After just 2 weeks on Rimadyl, dogs in a study showed visible improvements in energy, happiness, activity level, and comfort with continuous daily treatment at the label dose You might think it’s OK to stop when you see your dog is feeling better, but OA is a painful, progressive disease, so it's important to stick with your veterinarian’s prescribed course.
RIMADYL® is indicated for the relief of pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis and for the control of postoperative pain associated with soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries in dogs.
