Cimalgex 30mg Chewable Tablets by Vetoquinol

Cimalgex 30 mg Chewable Tablets are formulated for the treatment of pain and inflammation in dogs. The active ingredient, cimicoxib, is a selective COX-2 inhibitor that provides effective relief from discomfort associated with osteoarthritis and surgical procedures. The chewable tablets are flavored to enhance palatability, facilitating ease of administration.

Cimicoxib works by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase-2 enzyme, reducing the production of prostaglandins responsible for pain and inflammation. This targeted action helps minimize gastrointestinal side effects commonly associated with non-selective NSAIDs.
