Rimadyl For Human Use (Page 3)
(Newest replies first)

Just wondering if this drug is prescribed for human use to relieve joint pain?

REPORT

This drug was prescribed to humans until it was pulled because it could not compete as a prescription drug against Advil and Motrin which are both very similar. You shouldn't be so quick to fill the Douche Jar.

No! You absolutely cannot use that type of medication on animals - it's extremely toxic to them causing ulcers and liver damage.

Rymdal was used in humans for 10yrs and took off the market not because of harm but because of the marketing issues. Why keep a drug on the market as a perscription if you can by advil for half the price?

rimadyl (carprofen) was approved by the FDA 12/31/1987--the manufacturer Roche decided not to market it for human use--no benefit over various other NSAID products such as ibuprofen and naproxen--probably safe for a human, but no study data available, so.............let you dog have it and buy some ibuprofen for yourself

Rimadyl contains the active ingredient Carprofen and no, it is currently approved only for use in canines.

It is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and there are several of these on the market for human use, including:

Ibuprofen
