About PREVICOX ® (firocoxib)
How PREVICOX® (firocoxib) Works
Made Specifically for Dogs with Arthritis
PREVICOX is a coxib class Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID), formulated especially to alleviate the pain and inflammation associated with dog arthritis (what veterinarians call "canine osteoarthritis").
PREVICOX inhibits COX-2 (cyclooxygenase-2), which helps generate chemicals that are responsible for pain and inflammation, while sparing COX-1 (cyclooxygenase-1), which helps maintain normal bodily functions.*
Ask your veterinarian for more information about treating the pain and inflammation associated with arthritis with PREVICOX.

As a class, cyclooxygenase inhibitory NSAIDs may be associated with gastrointestinal, kidney or liver side effects. These are usually mild, but may be serious. Pet owners should discontinue therapy and contact their veterinarian immediately if side effects occur. Evaluation for pre-existing conditions and regular monitoring are recommended for pets on any medication, including PREVICOX. Use with other NSAIDs, corticosteroids or nephrotoxic medication should be avoided. Refer to the prescribing information for complete details.
