Features of DERAMAXX:

- Tasty beef flavor of chewable tablets is preferred by dogs
- Reduces post-dental surgery inflammation

What does Deramaxx Chewable Tablets do?
DERAMAXX works differently from traditional NSAID medications by blocking the COX-2 enzyme instead of the COX-1. Most NSAID drugs, like naproxen and ibuprofen, block both enzymes. The COX-1 makes prostaglandins, which are chemicals needed for several functions of the body, such as kidney function, stomach lining protection, and clotting of the blood.
Deramaxx Chewable Tablets side effects
Like other medications in this class, adverse reactions in the liver, kidneys, or digestive system could occur. These effects are typically mild, but could become severe. Discontinue use and notify your veterinarian right away if any reactions are noted.
