Description of Deramaxx
Uses
DERAMAXX Chewable Tablets are indicated for the control of pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis in dogs.
Dosage and Administration
Osteoarthritis Pain and Inflammation:
0.45-0.91 mg/lb/day (1 to 2 mg/kg/day) as a single daily dose, as needed.
Postoperative Orthopedic Pain and Inflammation:
DERAMAXX Chewable Tablets are indicated for the control of postoperative pain and inflammation associated with orthopedic surgery in dogs 4 lbs (1.8 kg).
Postoperative Orthopedic Pain and Inflammation:
1.4-1.8 mg/lb/day (3 to 4 mg/kg/day) as a single daily dose, as needed, not to exceed 7 days of administration.
Since DERAMAXX tablet bioavailability is greatest when taken with food, postprandial administration is preferable. However, DERAMAXX tablets have been shown to be effective under both fed and fasted conditions; therefore, they may be administered in the fasted state if necessary. For postoperative orthopedic pain, administer DERAMAXX tablets prior to the procedure. Tablets are scored and dosage should be calculated in half-tablet increments. In clinical practice it is recommended to adjust the individual patient dose while continuing to monitor the dogs status until a minimum effective dose has been reached.
Contra-indications
Dogs with known hypersensitivity to DERAMAXX or other NSAIDs should not receive DERAMAXX tablets.
Warnings:
Not for use in humans. Keep this and all medications out of reach of children. Consult a physician in case of accidental ingestion by humans. For use in dogs only.
All dogs should undergo a thorough history and physical examination before the initiation of NSAID therapy. Appropriate laboratory tests to establish hematological and serum biochemical baseline data prior to, and periodically during, administration of any NSAID is recommended. Owners should be advised to observe for signs of potential drug toxicity.
Sensitivity to drug-associated adverse events varies with the individual patient. As a class, NSAIDs may be associated with gastrointestinal, renal and hepatic toxicity. Patients at greatest risk for NSAID toxicity are those that are dehydrated, on concomitant diuretic therapy, or those with existing renal, cardiovascular, and/or hepatic dysfunction. Since many NSAIDs possess the potential to produce gastrointestinal ulceration and/or perforation, concomitant use of DERAMAXX tablets with other anti-inflammatory drugs, such as NSAIDs or corticosteroids, should be avoided.
Pharmaceutical Precautions
DERAMAXX tablets should be stored at room temperature between 59° and 86°F (15-30°C).
