Rx Firocoxib Chewable Tablets for Dogs Rx Firocoxib Chewable Tablets are a veterinary prescription non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) designed to control pain and inflammation in dogs. This medication is commonly used to manage osteoarthritis or to reduce discomfort and swelling associated with soft-tissue and orthopedic surgeries, such as spays or cruciate ligament repair. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint condition caused by “wear and tear” of cartilage and other joint structures, which can result in limping, stiffness, difficulty climbing stairs, or decreased activity. Firocoxib helps improve mobility and comfort, allowing your dog to maintain a more active lifestyle. For surgical applications, your veterinarian may administer Firocoxib before a procedure and recommend continued treatment for a few days postoperatively to manage pain and inflammation.
