Onsior Tablets for Dogs

Onsior (robenacoxib) is a highly selective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) belonging to the coxib class. It is specifically designed to target the COX-2 enzyme, which is responsible for pain and inflammation, while sparing the COX-1 enzyme that helps protect the stomach and kidneys. This "tissue-selective" medication moves quickly from the bloodstream to the site of inflammation, where it persists to provide relief. These flavoured, non-scored tablets are used to manage chronic pain associated with osteoarthritis and to control acute pain and inflammation following soft tissue surgery.
