As with other NSAIDs
Typical undesirable effects associated with NSAIDs, these adverse reactions
generally occur within the first treatment week and are in most cases transient and
disappear following termination of the treatment but in very rare cases may be
serious or fatal.
Idiosyncratic effects
If adverse reactions occur, use of the product should be stopped and the advice of a
veterinarian should be sought.

veterinary medicinal product. Reports should be sent, preferably via a veterinarian, to
either the marketing authorisation holder or its local representative or the national
competent authority via the national reporting system. See the package leaflet for
respective contact details.
Special precautions for safe use in the target species:
Use in aged dogs may involve additional risk. If such a use cannot be avoided, dogs
may require a reduced dosage and careful clinical management.
Avoid use in any dehydrated, hypovolaemic or hypotensive dog, as there is a
potential risk of increased renal toxicity.
Concurrent administration of potential nephrotoxic drugs should be avoided.
NSAID can cause inhibition of phagocytosis and hence in the treatment of inflammatory
conditions associated with bacterial infection, appropriate concurrent antimicrobial
therapy should be instigated.
As with other NSAID, photodermatitis during treatment with carprofen has been
observed in laboratory animals and in humans. These skin reactions have never been
observed in dogs.
Do not administer other NSAID concurrently or within 24 hours of each other.
Due to the good palatability of the tablet, they should be stored in a safe place out of
