What to know before using Carprieve (Carprofen) Chewable Tablets
This product should be kept away from animals and children.
ONLY use this product on dogs. Never use this product on pregnant or nursing animals or cats. Do not use on dogs that have previously shown a carprofen hypersensitivity.
Precautions:
ONLY use this product on dogs. Never use this product on pregnant or nursing animals or cats. Do not use on dogs that have previously shown a carprofen hypersensitivity.
Precautions:
- Cyclooxygenase inhibitory NSAIDs, as a class, could have an association with hepatic, renal, and gastrointestinal toxicity. This may be due to inhibition of the enzyme cyclooxygenase and decreased prostaglandin production responsible for the formation of prostaglandins from arachidonic acid.
- NSAIDs provide prostaglandin inhibition that causes inflammation. It may inhibit those prostaglandins that maintain normal homeostatic function as well. For patients with pre-existing or underlying disease, these effects may be more significant.
Therapy using NSAIDs may show previously undiagnosed occult disease because there were no signs that were clinical. For example, NSAID therapy may exacerbate in a patient with underlying renal disease. To reduce the risk of complications that are renal while preoperatively using NSAIDs, consider using parenteral fluids in surgical procedures.
This drug is an NSAID. Administering carprofen and drugs in this class can lead to adverse reactions. Gastrointestinal signs are the effects most frequently reported.
Other effects reported include:- Hepatic
- Dermatologic
- Neurologic
- Hematologic
- Renal
Approach concurrently administering drugs that are potentially nephrotoxic with monitoring and caution. Avoid using carprofen concomitantly along with other drugs that are anti-inflammatory. This includes corticosteroids and other NSAIDs, as this could lead to reactions that are adverse such as perforations or ulcerations of the gastrointestinal system. These reactions and sensitivities vary from patient to patient.
If a dog has had an adverse reaction to an NSAID, the same reaction could occur in another one. In healthy dogs, safety studies that are well controlled show animals can tolerate up to ten times the dose without gastrointestinal ulceration or renal toxicity.
For dogs with bleeding disorders such as Von Willebrand’s disease, Carprieve is not recommended. Safety for dogs with these disorders has not been established.
Safety has also not been established for:- Lactating bitches
- Breeding dogs
- Pregnant dogs
- Animals 6 weeks of age or less
Carprofen treatment may reduce the inhalant anesthetics level required. Consider alternative analgesia should more pain medication be needed following a daily total dose of Carprieve. It is not recommended to use another NSAID. When you switch to NSAID use from using corticosteroids or switching between NSAIDs, consider the washout times when appropriate.
