Since Deramaxx tablet bioavailability is greatest when taken with food, postprandial administration is preferable. However Deramaxx dog tablets have been shown to be effective under both fed and fasted conditions; therefore, they may be administered in the fasted state if necessary. For postoperative orthopedic pain, administer Deramaxx dog tablets prior to the procedure. Deramaxx Tablets are scored and dosage should be calculated in half-tablet increments. In clinical practice it is recommended to adjust the individual patient dose while continuing to monitor the dog’s status until a minimum effective dose has been reached.
