Rimadyl® Chewables should be given orally as directed by your veterinarian. Routine laboratory monitoring is recommended prior to use and periodically while on this medication.

Give the dose as soon as possible. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose, and continue with the regular schedule. Do not give 2 doses at once.

Side effects may include mild stomach upset, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, black tarry stools, drowsiness and aggression. Notify your veterinarian if side effects appear and remain troublesome.

Concomitant use of carprofen with other anti-inflammatory drugs or corticosteroids should be avoided due to increased risk of adverse reactions. 

Other side effects may occur, if you notice anything unusual, contact your veterinarian.

Contact your veterinarian if your pet experiences any unusual reactions when different medications are given together.

Make sure to tell your veterinarian what other medication you are giving to your pet. Quite often your veterinarian may prescribe two different medications, even if a drug interaction may occur. In this case, your veterinarian may vary the dose and/or monitor your pet more closely.
