DESCRIPTION: Onsior for Cats is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) medication that uses Robenacoxib to reduce inflammation and relieve pain caused by orthopedic or soft tissue surgery. It is a short-term treatment option.
Key Benefits:
Onsoir contains Robenacoxib, an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug). It targets the COX-2 enzyme, which causes pain, but it has no effect on COX-1, which is responsible for protecting the GI tract and blood platelet function. The tablets are absorbed quickly from the digestive tract, and they relieve pain for a full 24 hours.
Formulated For: For cats only.
How is Medication Given?
Recommended dosage rate is 1 mg per kg of cat's body weight. Administer at the same time each day for a 3-day max. Only administer orally, and never administer concomitantly with another pain reliever. For cats weighing 5.5 to 13.3 pounds, administer 1 tablet (6 mg) daily.
