Robenacoxib: A Prescription Pain Medicine for Dogs
Robenacoxib is a prescription veterinary NSAID that reduces pain and inflammation by selectively blocking COX-2 enzymes. It is used mainly in dogs for osteoarthritis and, when prescribed, short-term pain and inflammation after surgery.
Robenacoxib can help control pain and inflammation in dogs, but it must be used exactly as directed by a veterinarian. Watch for stomach problems and other warning signs, and do not give it to humans or combine it with other pain medicines without veterinary advice.
