How to Order Prescriptions
Description
Nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) effectively relieves acute pain and post
soft-tissue surgery and inflammation in cats. Travels rapidly through
the bloodstream to selectively target the tissues involved in
inflammation and pain. The drug takes effect and exits the blood
quickly, to reduce potential side effects. Causes fewer gastrointestinal
side effects by selective inhibition of prostaglandin formation.
The dose of ONSIOR tablets is 0.45 mg/lb (1 mg/kg) orally once daily, for a maximum of three days. See dosing chart for dosage directions.
