Pharmacological properties Rimadyl:

• Carprofen, the active ingredient Rimadila P, belongs to the group of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and has anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic effects.

• Carprofen, like other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, inhibits cycloxygenase in the arachidonic acid cycle. In this case, the drug mainly affects cycloxygenase-II, which is induced in response to the development of inflammation.As a result, the synthesis of inflammatory prostaglandins, causing inflammation, swelling and pain, is blocked.
• At therapeutic doses, carprofen has a much weaker effect on cycloxygenase-I, and as a result, it has no effect on the synthesis of protective prostaglandins. Thus, carprofen does not interfere with normal physiological processes in tissues, especially in the stomach, intestines, kidneys and platelets.
• Carprofen is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, reaches a peak plasma concentration 1–3 hours after administration, with a bioavailability of more than 90%.
• The half-life in dogs is about 8 hours.
• Carprofen is more than 99% bound to plasma proteins. The drug is metabolized in the liver, excreted mainly in the feces (about 80%), and in the urine.
