Substitute For 100 Mg Rimadyl
(Newest replies first)

Updated

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 not a vet, but I can say that I've given my 20 lb Pekinese cross one of those "enteric" aspirin tablets for her aches and pains. Worked just fine. The enteric aspirin are coated to help prevent stomach upset and are usually taken as "once a day aspirin for the heart" by humans.

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...

I'm sorry, I am not familiar with veterinary medications.

Have you tried asking your vet for a cheaper alternative or other treatment options?
