EFFECTIVENESS:
Confirmation of the effectiveness of carprofen for the relief of pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis was demonstrated in 7 placebo-controlled masked studies examining the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effectiveness of carprofen in various breeds of dogs.
Separate placebo-controlled masked multicenter field studies confirmed the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effectiveness of carprofen when dosed at 2 mg/lb once daily or when divided and administered at 1 mg/lb twice daily. In these two field studies dogs diagnosed with osteoarthritis showed statistically significant overall improvement based on lameness evaluations by the veterinarian and owner observations when administered carprofen at labeled doses.
