Why use Deramaxx Chewable Tablets for Dogs?
DERAMAXX is used to reduce inflammation after dental surgery, reduce postoperative pain, control chronic pain associated with osteoarthritis, treat inflammation and pain. It does not affect the COX-1 enzyme, which is crucial for blood coagulation, renal function, and stomach lining protection. The chewable, beef-flavored tablets are well-accepted and simple to feed to dogs.
How does Deramaxx Chewable Tablets for Dogs work?
DERAMAXX differs from other NSAIDS in that it targets the COX-2 enzyme rather than the COX-1 enzyme. Both naproxen and ibuprofen are anti-inflammatory drugs that are known to block both of these enzymes. COX-1 is in charge of producing prostaglandins, which are essential for a variety of biological processes. These include healthy renal function, stomach lining protection, and blood clotting.
