Precautions Care should be taken to avoid treatment of animals that might not tolerate prolonged NSAID exposure. Mavacoxib exhibits an extended plasma half-life (up to and over 80 days) due to its low rate of elimination and bioaccumulative effects. This corresponds to a duration of effect of one to two months after administration of the second dose (and following doses). A maximum treatment of 6.5 months' continuous therapy is recommended so as to manage plasma levels of mavacoxib in animals which exhibit reduced elimination.Animals should undergo a thorough clinical examination before commencing treatment with Trocoxil, and appropriate laboratory tests to monitor haematological status and clinical chemistry are recommended. Animals with evidence of impaired renal or hepatic function or with evidence of a protein or blood losing enteropathy are not suitable for treatment with Trocoxil.Other NSAIDs or glucocorticoids should not be used concurrently or within at least one month of the last administration of Trocoxil. Pretreatment with other anti-inflammatory substances may result in additional or increased adverse effects. To avoid such effects when Trocoxil is to be administered in replacement of another NSAID, ensure an appropriate treatment free period of at least 24 hours before administering the first dose of Trocoxil. The treatment free period should take into account the pharmacology of the medicines used previously. Should another NSAID be administered after Trocoxil treatment, a treatment free period of at least one month should be ensured to avoid adverse effects.Avoid use in dehydrated, hypovolaemic or hypotensive animals, as there is a potential risk of increased renal toxicity. Ensure appropriate hydration and haemodynamic status when animals receiving mavacoxib undergo anaesthesia and/or surgical procedures or develop conditions which may result in dehydration or compromised haemodynamic status. Patients with underlying renal disease may experience exacerbation or decompensation of their renal disease while on NSAID therapy.Harmful if swallowed. May irritate the eyes. Do not swallow. Avoid contact with eyes. Wash hands after use. Ingestion of mavacoxib can be harmful to children, and prolonged gastrointestinal and pharmacological effects may be observed after accidental ingestion. To avoid accidental ingestion, administer the tablet to the dog immediately after removal from the blister package.First Aid If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre.

What is Trocoxil?

Trocoxil is a veterinary medication that contains the active ingredient mavacoxib. It is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is specifically designed for the treatment of pain and inflammation in dogs. Trocoxil is commonly prescribed by veterinarians to manage chronic conditions such as osteoarthritis in dogs, as well as to provide relief from pain associated with other musculoskeletal disorders. Animals may need Trocoxil if they are suffering from conditions that cause pain and inflammation in their joints, such as arthritis. By reducing inflammation and pain, Trocoxil can help improve the quality of life for dogs and allow them to move more comfortably and freely. It is important to always follow your veterinarian's instructions when administering Trocoxil to ensure the safety and well-being of your pet.

What problems could my pet have with Trocoxil?

While Trocoxil can be an effective medication for managing pain and inflammation in dogs, there are potential risks and side effects associated with its use. Some common problems that pets may experience with Trocoxil include: 1. Gastrointestinal Issues: NSAIDs like Trocoxil can sometimes cause gastrointestinal problems such as vomiting, diarrhea, or stomach ulcers. It is important to monitor your pet for any signs of digestive upset while they are taking Trocoxil. 2. Kidney and Liver Damage: Long-term use of NSAIDs can potentially lead to kidney or liver damage in some dogs. It is essential to follow your veterinarian's recommended dosage and monitoring schedule to minimize the risk of these serious side effects. 3. Allergic Reactions: Some dogs may be allergic to Trocoxil or other NSAIDs, leading to symptoms such as itching, hives, swelling, or difficulty breathing. If you notice any signs of an allergic reaction, contact your veterinarian immediately. 4. Drug Interactions: Trocoxil may interact with other medications your pet is taking, potentially leading to adverse effects. Always inform your veterinarian about any other medications, supplements, or treatments your pet is receiving before starting Trocoxil. 5. Overdose: Accidental overdose of Trocoxil can be dangerous for your pet. Make sure to follow the prescribed dosage carefully and keep the medication out of reach of pets and children. It is crucial to discuss any concerns or potential problems with your veterinarian before starting your pet on Trocoxil. Your veterinarian can provide guidance on the appropriate use of the medication and monitor your pet for any adverse effects during treatment.

Is there anything I need to know about administering Trocoxil?

When administering Trocoxil to your pet, it is essential to follow your veterinarian's instructions carefully to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the medication. Here are some key points to keep in mind when giving Trocoxil to your dog: 1. Dosage: Administer the prescribed dosage of Trocoxil as directed by your veterinarian. Do not exceed the recommended dose, as overdosing can be harmful to your pet. 2. Administration: Trocoxil is typically given orally in the form of a chewable tablet. Make sure your dog consumes the entire tablet to receive the full dose of medication. 3. Food: Trocoxil can be given with or without food. However, if your dog experiences gastrointestinal upset, giving the medication with a meal may help reduce the risk of digestive issues. 4. Monitoring: Keep an eye on your pet for any signs of adverse reactions or side effects while they are taking Trocoxil. Contact your veterinarian immediately if you notice any concerning symptoms. 5. Regular Vet Check-ups: Your veterinarian may recommend periodic check-ups to monitor your pet's response to Trocoxil and assess any potential side effects. Follow up with your vet as scheduled to ensure the ongoing safety and efficacy of the treatment. 6. Storage: Store Trocoxil in a secure location out of reach of pets and children to prevent accidental ingestion. Follow any specific storage instructions provided by the manufacturer. By following these guidelines and maintaining open communication with your veterinarian, you can help ensure that your pet receives the benefits of Trocoxil while minimizing the risks associated with its use.
