Product Information
Full details
Inflacam Chewable Tablets are an effective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) designed for dog owners looking to manage their pet's acute or chronic pain. They are particularly useful for post-operative recovery and long-term joint health support, though owners must strictly monitor for gastrointestinal side effects and ensure regular veterinary check-ups to track liver and kidney function during long-term use.

FAQs
Can I give Inflacam to my cat?
No. Inflacam Chewable Tablets are specifically formulated for dogs. Using canine NSAIDs on cats can be toxic and life-threatening.
How long should my dog be on this medication?
For acute pain, it is often prescribed for a few days post-surgery. For chronic issues, it may be a long-term treatment, but your vet should re-evaluate your dog periodically.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Give the missed dose as soon as you remember, unless it is nearly time for the next dose. Never give two doses at once.
Do I need blood tests for my dog while on this?
Yes, if the medication is used for long-term chronic pain, your veterinarian will likely recommend baseline and follow-up blood panels to monitor liver and kidney enzymes.
Is it safe to give with other heart or allergy medications?
You must consult your veterinarian. Certain medications have negative interactions with NSAIDs, and your vet needs to confirm your dog's full current medication list.
Troubleshooting
Dog refuses to eat the chewable
Try hiding the tablet inside a small piece of cheese, a pill pocket, or a spoonful of wet food.
Dog exhibits vomiting or lack of appetite
Discontinue use immediately and contact your veterinarian, as these can be signs of NSAID intolerance or gastrointestinal distress.
Visible blood in stool or black/tarry stools
Seek emergency veterinary attention, as this is a sign of potential stomach ulceration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Always follow the specific dosage instructions provided by your veterinarian. Because Inflacam is a flavored chewable, it must be stored in a secure location out of reach of pets and children to prevent accidental ingestion.
- Administration: Offer with or without food, though giving with a small meal can sometimes help reduce the risk of stomach upset.
- Compatibility: Do not combine with other NSAIDs or corticosteroids unless explicitly directed by a professional, as this significantly increases the risk of ulcers.
- Care: Keep the container tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
