brown round pill AF on onside and NA on the other side ## Deramaxx contains Deracoxib, currently it is approved for use in animals, via veterinary prescription. It is most commonly used to treat pain, and swelling. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, stomach irritation, increased risk of bleeding, and dizziness. Do you have a pet that this was prescribed for?

Our English Bulldog needs a pain medication for very severe tooth and gum infections. He is 10 years old & he cannot have the anesthetic needed for surgery to remove his teeth.

200 lb dog who needs this med for pain relief. We need some a little more inexpensive. ## My Rotti/shep bitch is 13yrs old. She's been on glycoflex for years now.She just started to favor a rear leg.The vet found that she is starting to have pain,so she gave me some sample bottles of deramaxx to try.I asked how much when samples used up & was told $112.xx for 30tabs!
