Dosage | Amounts to be administered and administration route For oral administration. 4 mg carprofen per kg bodyweight per day. An initial dose of 4 mg carprofen per kg bodyweight per day given as a single daily dose. The analgesic effect from each dose persists for at least 12 hours. The daily dose may be reduced, subject to clinical response. Duration of treatment will be dependent upon the response seen. Long term treatment should be under regular veterinary supervision. To extend analgesic and anti-inflammatory cover post-operatively parenteral pre-operative treatment with an injectable carprofen may be followed with carprofen tablets at 4 mg/kg/day for 5 days. Do not exceed the stated dose. Tablets can be broken as follows: Put the tablet on a flat surface, with its scored side facing the surface (convex face up). With the tip of forefinger, exert a slight vertical pressure on the middle of the tablet to break it into halves. In order to obtain quarters, then exert a slight pressure on the middle of one half with forefinger. Each chewable tablet can be quartered for accurate dosing according to the individual body weight of the animal. Number of tablets per day Dog weight (kg) 1⁄4 ≥ 7.5 < 14.4 1⁄2 ≥ 14.5 < 20.9 3⁄4 ≥ 21 < 29.9 1 ≥ 30 < 37.4 1 1⁄4 ≥ 37.5 < 44.9 1 1⁄2 ≥ 45 < 52.4 1 3⁄4 ≥ 52.5 < 59.9 2 ≥ 60 < 70 The chewable tablets are flavoured and are accepted by dogs. The chewable tablets can be administered with or without food. Overdose (symptoms, emergency procedures, antidotes), if necessary Bibliographic data report that carprofen is well tolerated in dogs at twice the recommended dosage for 42 days. There is no specific antidote to carprofen but general supportive therapy as applied to clinical overdose with NSAIDs should be applied. |
