RederoxDogs (Deracoxib) Chewable Tablets for Dogs, 12-mg, Per Tablet - [Pain & Inflammation Relief]

Rederox Chewable Tablets are a prescription non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) of the coxib class. They are indicated for the control of postoperative pain and inflammation associated with orthopedic (bone) and dental surgery in dogs and for the control of pain and inflammation (soreness) associated with osteoarthritis in dogs. The tablets are flavored to make administration more convenient.

Rederox Chewable Tablets allow your dog to recover more comfortably by controlling pain and inflammation that follow orthopedic and dental surgery.

• The postoperative orthopedic pain dose is a higher dose; administration at this dose should not exceed 7 days total, including the days the patient is administered Rederox Chewable Tablets while in the hospital.
• Control of pain and inflammation may vary from dog to dog.
• If Rederox Chewable Tablets are not given according to your veterinarian's directions, your dog's pain may return.
