Carprofen Chewable Tablets 25 mg for Dog

Carprofen Chewable Tablets 25 mg for Dogs are a veterinary-prescribed non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain, inflammation, and stiffness associated with osteoarthritis, joint disorders, soft-tissue injuries, and post-operative recovery in dogs. Formulated specifically for canine use.

What Carprofen 25 mg Is Used For
