Product Description
Deracoxib is present in DERAMAXX. It helps to relieve the pain and inflammation that follows orthopedic surgery.
Who is Deramaxx Chewable Tablets for Dogs for?
Dogs.
Why use Deramaxx Chewable Tablets for Dogs?
DERAMAXX is used to reduce inflammation after dental surgery, reduce postoperative pain, control chronic pain associated with osteoarthritis, treat inflammation and pain. It does not affect the COX-1 enzyme, which is crucial for blood coagulation, renal function, and stomach lining protection. The chewable, beef-flavored tablets are well-accepted and simple to feed to dogs.
How does Deramaxx Chewable Tablets for Dogs work?
DERAMAXX differs from other NSAIDS in that it targets the COX-2 enzyme rather than the COX-1 enzyme. Both naproxen and ibuprofen are anti-inflammatory drugs that are known to block both of these enzymes. COX-1 is in charge of producing prostaglandins, which are essential for a variety of biological processes. These include healthy renal function, stomach lining protection, and blood clotting.

Overview
If you forget to take a dose, give it when you recall. If the next dose is approaching, skip the missing dose and return to your regular treatment plan. Never take two doses to make up for a missing one. Unless otherwise directed by a veterinarian, do not administer for more than 7 days in a succession. Use as little as feasible and as seldom as possible. As directed, take the medication. Make sure the dog gets the entire dose. Ensure that sufficient clean drinking water is available at all times. Give it to the animal without or with meals. To boost the medication's bioavailability, give it with meals. Feed by hand or mix with food. Remove only one chewable tablet at a time, and put the rest back in their secure place. Before medical or dental operations, use this supplement. For post-surgical pain and inflammation, 1.4mg to 1.8mg per pound of body weight is the standard dose. For joint pain and inflammation, a standard dose ranges from 0.45mg to 0.91mg per pound of body weight. Doses are calculated in half-tablet increments. Use according to your veterinarian's instructions.
