Indications for use

Deramaxx is indicated for the control of postoperative pain and inflammation associated with orthopedic and dental surgery and for the control of pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis in dogs.

Administration and dosage

• 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 and dental 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 dog’s status until a minimum effective dose has been reached.

Osteoarthritis Pain and Inflammation:

• 0.45 - 0.91 mg/lb/day (1 to 2 mg/kg/day) as a single daily dose, as needed.

• Dogs needing a dose of less than 12.5 mg can only be accurately dosed through use of the 12 mg tablet, which can be broken in half to provide 6 mg. Do not attempt to accurately dose smaller dogs through the use of breaking larger tablets.
