Rimadyl tablets for dogs are primarily used to treat pain and inflammation associated with arthritis and osteoarthritis in dogs. Rimadyl can often be prescribed for dogs after surgery for short term relief from pain and inflammation.
Rimadyl contains the drug Carprofen which is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It reduces the hormones that cause pain and swelling in the body and is considered safer for long term use than other pain relief medications.
What Are The Side Effects of Rimadyl?
As an NSAID, Rimadyl is considered a much safer option for pain relief than a steroid-based drug. However, there are potential side effects. The risk of these side effects increases with long-term use.
The most common potential side effects of Rimadyl are:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhoea
- Constipation
- Fatigue
- Weakness
- Gastrointestinal ulcers
- Liver and kidney problems (particularly with long term use).
