Description:
Rycarfa tablets with meat flavor.
Structure:

Pharmacological properties:
Carprofen, which is part of the drug, has anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic effects, inhibiting cycloxygenase-II, which is induced in response to the development of inflammation. As a result, the synthesis of inflammatory prostaglandins, which cause inflammation, swelling and pain, is blocked. In therapeutic doses, carprofen has a much weaker effect on cyclooxygenase-I and, due to this, does not affect the synthesis of protective prostaglandins. Thus, carprofen does not interfere with normal physiological processes in tissues, stomach, intestines, kidneys and platelets. When administered orally, carprofen is rapidly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and enters the bloodstream, reaching its maximum concentration in the blood plasma 1-3 hours after administration. It is metabolized in the liver, excreted mainly in feces and partially in urine. The half-life of carprofen from the body of dogs is about 10 hours.
