Rycarfa Tablet for Dogs
This tablet is for reduction of inflammation and pain caused by musculoskeletal disorders and degenerative joint disease. As a follow up to parenteral analgesia in the management of post-operative pain.
Tablet Strengths Available:
- 20mg
- 50mg
- 100mg
Suitable For:
- Dogs
The tablet can be divided into equal parts.
Administration:
- For oral administration
- 2 to 4 mg carprofen per kg bodyweight per day
- An initial dose of 4 mg carprofen per kg bodyweight per day given as a single daily dose or in two equally divided doses may, subject to clinical response, be reduced after 7 days to 2 mg carprofen/kg bodyweight/day given as a single dose
- Duration of treatment will be dependent upon the response seen. Long term treatment should be under regular veterinary supervision
- To extend analgesic and anti-inflammatory cover post-operatively, parenteral preoperative treatment may be followed with Carprofen tablets at 4 mg/kg/day for up to 5 days
- To ensure a correct dosage, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible to avoid underdosing
Cautions:
- Do not use in cats
- Do not use in pregnant or lactating bitches
- Do not use in dogs less than 4 months of age
- Do not use in cases of hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients
- Do not use in dogs suffering from cardiac, hepatic or renal disease, where there is a possibility of gastrointestinal ulceration or bleeding, or where there is evidence of a blood dyscrasia
Special Precautions:
- Use in aged dogs may involve additional risk
- If such a use cannot be avoided, dogs may require careful clinical management
- Avoid use in any dehydrated, hypovolaemic or hypotensive dog, as there is a potential risk of increased renal toxicity
- NSAIDs can cause inhibition of phagocytosis and hence in the treatment of inflammatory conditions associated with bacterial infection, appropriate concurrent antimicrobial therapy should be instigated
- The tablets are flavoured. In order to avoid any accidental ingestion, store tablets out of reach of the animals
Storage:
- Store in the original package in order to protect from light and moisture
- Return any halved tablet to the opened blister and use within 24 hours
