Rimadyl 100 Mg

We do not live in the US, Rimadyl is extremely expensive here. At present I administer 25 mg twice a day to our two arthritic geriatic dogs [30 and 40 lbs]. Is there an across-the-counter drugstore substitute that would work as well? If so, what dosage & frequency? Thank you. ## I'm sorry, I am not familiar with veterinary medications. Have you tried asking your vet for a cheaper alternative or other treatment options? ## Rimadyl contains the active ingredient Carprofen - Depending on where in the world you are located, a generic or substituted brand name may be available. So I would suggest trying to find Carprofen or another medication which contains it. You can also read more about this drug (including alternative brands in other countries) on the page for Rimadyl Details... ...

Our dog was just fixed. My daughter picked her up. The pill is square and brown. R is on one side and 100 mg is on the other. There's nothing written on the bottle but his name and to take 1 and 1/2 a day. ## Hello Rich, The pill you are describing is a 100mg Rimadyl chewable tablet. This medication is an anti-inflammitory pain medication used primarily for dogs with arthritis and post surgery. Here is some information that I sourced from the National Institute of Health. NDC: 54771-1506 Active Ingredients: Carprofen Color: Brown Shape: Square Imprint: 100mg;R Size: 19mm Flavor: Liver I hope this information helps. Have a wonderful day. ## Thank You, yes it did...I appreciate the reply!????

Our dog was diagnosed with bone cancer and given 6 months to live. The DR. prescribed 100 mg of RIMADYL for him. [sheep dog] 9 1/2 yrs and 50 mg of Tramadol. I also take Tramadol for back pain. The DR. just said to give him 2 RIMADYL A DAY and not to specific on the TRAMADOL 1 to 3 or 4 a day. I don't want to over medicate him or under medicate him. He isn't complaining at all yet. He is like one of our kids and wan't to give him as much pain free time he has left. How do we know when to give him more or less pills as time goes on, and is their any other substitute meds that doesn't cost $80.00 dollars as rimadyl does for a months worth of pills.
