Your veterinarian may administer PREVICOX anti-inflammatory before the procedure and recommend that your dog be treated for up to 3 days following the surgery after going home.

Talk to your veterinarian about including PREVICOX anti-inflammatory as part of your dog’s OA treatment plan and help get him on his way to getting back to himself.

PREVICOX® (firocoxib) Chewable Tablet is not for use in humans. Keep this and all medication out of reach of children. As a class, cyclooxygenase inhibitory NSAIDs may be associated with digestive tract (vomiting and decreased food consumption), liver and kidney problems. Serious side effects associated with NSAID therapy in dogs can occur with or without warning, and, in rare situations, result in death. It is important to stop the medication and contact your veterinarian immediately if you think your dog has a medical problem or side effect while taking PREVICOX® anti-inflammatory. Evaluation for pre-existing conditions and regular monitoring are recommended for any pets on any medication, including PREVICOX® anti-inflammatory. Use with other NSAIDs, corticosteroids or nephrotoxic medication should be avoided. The safe use of PREVICOX® anti-inflammatory in pregnant, lactating or breeding dogs has not been evaluated.
