Ultimate Guide to Galliprant Tablets

Meet the Osteoarthritis Pain Manager: Galliprant!

Galliprant is an FDA-approved and veterinarian-recommended dog medication that relieves your dog 's crippling disease of osteoarthritis (OA) acute or chronic pain and inflammation with its once-a-day flavorful chewable oral tablet. Galliprant guarantees to improve your dog 's quality of life with a happy, comfortable, and pain-free existence.

How does Galliprant work?

The most common pet medications to alleviate the pain and inflammation associated with OA are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). NSAIDs reduce pain, inflammation, and fever by stopping the formation of proteins needed for these to occur. NSAIDs are for short term acute pain as well as long term, chronic pain management.

Galliprant is the first of its kind: prostaglandin receptor antagonist (PRA) and a non-COX (cyclooxygenase) inhibiting NSAID. COX enzymes produce prostaglandins at sites of tissue damage caused by injury or illness. Both promote inflammation, pain, and fever. However, inhibition of their production is not part of Galliprant 's mode of action.

Anti-inflammatory NSAID Galliprantspecifically targets and blocks the EP4 receptor, which is the key mediator of canine OA pain and inflammation, while reducing the impact on the gastrointestinal tract (GI), kidney, and liver natural processes.

How is Galliprant for dogs administered?

Galliprant for dogs is administered once a day orally by a flavored chewable tablet with the Galliprant generic name and active ingredient Gapiprant The usual Galliprant dosage is 0.9 milligrams of Gapiprant per pound once a day. Most dogs can be dosed with a whole or half a tablet for effective canine OA pain relief.
