Product Details
Carodyl 100 Tablet is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) of the propionic acid class that includes ibuprofen, naproxen and ketoprofen. Carprofen is the nonproprietary designation for a substituted carbazole, 6-chloro-α-methyl-9H-carbazole-2-acetic acid.

Key Ingredients:
Carprofen

Key Benefits:
  • Carodyl is indicated for the relief of pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis and for the control of postoperative pain associated with soft tissue and orthopaedic surgeries in dogs
  • Carprofen is a non-narcotic, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent with characteristic analgesic and antipyretic activity approximately equipotent to indomethacin in animal models
  • Carprofen has also been shown to inhibit the release of several prostaglandins in two inflammatory cell systems: rat polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) and human rheumatoid synovial cells, indicating inhibition of acute (PMN system) and chronic (synovial cell system) inflammatory reactions

Directions For Use:
  • The recommended dosage for oral administration to dogs is 2 mg/lb of body weight daily
  • The total daily dose may be administered as 2 mg/lb of body weight once daily or divided and administered as 1 mg/lb twice daily
  • For the control of postoperative pain, administer approximately 2 hours before the procedure
  • Carodyl chewable tablets are scored and dosage should be calculated in half-tablet increments
  • Tablets can be halved by placing the tablet on a hard surface and pressing down on both sides of the score
  • Carodyl chewable tablets are palatable and willingly consumed by most dogs when offered by the owner
  • Therefore, they may be fed by hand or placed on food. Care should be taken to ensure that the dog consumes the complete dose
