Onsior is a non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), prescribed to relieve pain and inflammation in cats and dogs. It is indicated for the control of postoperative pain and inflammation associated with orthopedic and soft tissue surgery in dogs, and for the control of postoperative pain and inflammation associated with orthopedic surgery, ovariohysterectomy, and castration in cats. Inflammation and pain are part of the body’s natural defense mechanism, but their effects on tissues, organs, and the brain can cause damages. Prostaglandins are found in most tissues and organs; they are produced by cells to deal with injury and illness. There are two types of prostaglandins: « good » (blood pressure, airflow to lungs, gastric pH and intestinal mucus, renal function) and « bad » (inflammation, pain, fever). Onsior contains robenacoxib, an NSAID that works by inhibiting the « bad » prostaglandins, thereby relieving pain and inflammation. Most anti-inflammatory medications inhibit both prostaglandins leading to painful stomach ulcers, renal problems, and restricted blood flow. With Onsior, you can quickly and effectively bring your cat or dog relief from the pain and inflammation. Onsior is available on Vetito veterinary pharmacy in an injectable solution for dogs, 6 mg strength tablets for cats, and 10mg, 20mg, and 40mg strength tablets for dogs.
