There are many challenges that come with treating osteoarthritis (OA) in dogs, from concerns about the safety of long-term solutions to early diagnosis. Galliprant™ is a NSAID you can trust for the safe and effective treatment of OA in your canine patients, no matter what stage of their OA journey they are at. Galliprant has been firmly established as an excellent first-line option in the OA treatment space, already improving the quality of life for hundreds of thousands of dogs across the world. After all, a NSAID with an impressive safety profile1 means less stress for all.

 

Addressing safety concerns

The unfortunate reality of OA is that there is no cure, which means long-term treatment is the best course of action to make patients more comfortable. Some dog owners and vets are reluctant to prescribe OA treatments for fear of life-threatening side-effects in their patients. Vets should consider Galliprant as an alternative where owners are concerned about the safety of the commonly prescribed products for OA treatment and are looking for another option.

 

A targeted mode of action means an impressive safety profile

Galliprant's mode of action directly targets canine OA pain and inflammation while allowing the production of prostaglandins involved in GIT and renal homeostasis2. The benefits of this targeted mode of action are highlighted by the results of a target animal safety study1. In this study, Galliprant was administered up to 10 times the maximum therapeutic dose daily for 9 months. Even at these high daily doses, Galliprant was well-tolerated by study participants. All dogs completed the study in a clinically normal fashion, with no evidence of GI ulceration and no kidney or liver problems.

 

Proven results on real patients

We can say what we like about Galliprant, but the results speak for themselves. Efficacy has been proven via a comprehensive clinical study3 published in the Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine. The study draws firm and reassuring conclusions about Galliprant, stating that the medicine is an effective treatment for the alleviation of pain and inflammation in dogs with OA, and represents a modality of treatment that is well tolerated.

If you’ve been searching for a safe and effective solution to treat both early and long-term cases of OA, Galliprant is the name you can trust. It’s a tried-and-true treatment backed by vets, science and studies, so you can prescribe it with peace of mind.
