PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES

Carprofen is the most studied non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, analgesic and decongestant of the latest generation for dogs in the treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Carprofen inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase in the arachidonic acid cycle. In this case, the drug predominantly affects cyclooxygenase-II, which is produced in response to inflammation. As a result, the synthesis of prostaglandins is blocked. In therapeutic doses, carprofen has a much weaker effect on cyclooxygenase-I, and therefore does not significantly affect the synthesis of protective prostaglandins, the lack of which in the body can cause renal dysfunction (slowing renal blood flow), platelet aggregation, increased secretion of the stomach and intestinal glands, impaired water-salt balance,

The drug has anti-bradykinin activity, suppressing pain perception at the level of the central parts of the brain and spinal cord. Carprofen is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, and its concentration reaches a peak in blood plasma 1 to 3 hours after oral administration. The half-life is about 10 hours. Carprofen is more than 99% bound to plasma proteins and is metabolized in the liver, excreted in feces (about 80%) and urine.

Ricarfa tablets with a taste of meat, according to the degree of impact on the body of warm-blooded animals, are classified as moderately hazardous substances.
