Helps control pain and inflammation due to osteoarthritis or following orthopedic and dental surgery in dogs. Ostimax can be use with dogs of all sizes. It is best given with food, but palatable enough with beef flavor to be given without food. They are also scored and available in various strengths to allow for precise dosing.
What does Ostimax (Deracoxib) Chewable Tablets for Dogs do?
Some NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen and naproxen, relieve pain and reduce inflammation by blocking the actions of both COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes. The COX-1 enzyme makes prostaglandins, chemicals necessary for many normal body functions, such as blood clotting, protection of the stomach lining and kidney function. Deracoxib is different from traditional NSAIDs because at recommended doses it blocks the COX-2 enzyme and not the COX-1 enzyme.
