4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 TARGET SPECIES
Dogs.
4.2 INDICATIONS FOR USE, SPECIFYING THE TARGET SPECIES
For analgesia and reduction of chronic inflammation, for example in
degenerative joint disease, in the dog.
Rimadyl Palatable Tablets can also be used in the management of
post-operative pain.
4.3 CONTRAINDICATIONS

where there is a possibility of gastro-intestinal ulceration or

toxic effects.
4.4 SPECIAL WARNINGS FOR EACH TARGET SPECIES

bacterial infection, appropriate concurrent antimicrobial
