Carprieve tablets are used for the treatment of analgesia and reduction of chronic inflammation, for example in degenerative joint disease, in dogs. Carprieve tablets can also be used in the management of post-operative pain.
These tablets are white/off-white circular tablets of diameter 8 mm, 20 embossed on one side and a single break line on the other side. 1 tablet contains 20 mg of the active substance Carprofen.
Carprieve tablets are a prescription-only medication. This means that before you complete your purchase, you are required to upload a prescription through our online portal.
Once our team has confirmed you've ordered the right medication for your dog, we will send out your order. It's a simple process that means you can buy carprieve tablets online instead of going to your vet every month.
These tables should be administered orally. We recommend that you give your dog the chewable tablet with food to reduce the risk of gastrointestinal upset.
An initial dose of 2 to 4 mg carprofen/kg bodyweight/day is recommended to be given in 2 equally divided doses. The dose may be reduced to 2 mg carprofen/kg bodyweight/day administered as a single daily dose after 7 days, subject to clinical response.
Use in dogs less than 6 weeks of age, or in aged animals, may involve additional risk. If such use cannot be avoided, such dogs may require a reduced dosage and 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.
