The daily dose of Deramaxx tablets for postoperative orthopedic
pain is 3–4 mg/kg/day (1.4–1.8 mg/lb/day) as a single
daily dose, as needed, not to exceed 7 days of administration.
Since Deramaxx
tablet bioavailability is greatest when taken with food, postprandial
administration is preferable. However Deramaxx dog tablets
have been shown to be effective under both fed and fasted conditions;
therefore, they may be administered in the fasted state if necessary.
For postoperative orthopedic pain, administer Deramaxx dog tablets
prior to the procedure. Tablets are scored and dosage should be
calculated in half-tablet increments. In clinical practice it is
recommended to adjust the individual patient dose while continuing
to monitor the dog’s status until a minimum effective dose
has been reached.
