Recognize the source of OA pain in dogs and the treatment becomes clear
Effectively control canine osteoarthritis (OA) inflammation and pain by blocking the EP4 receptor with the precision power of Galliprant® (grapiprant tablets).
Canine OA: A disease of inflammation
Canine OA is a progressive disease for which there is no cure that affects more than 40% of dogs by age 41. It’s the number 1 cause of chronic pain in dogs and one of the most common reasons for euthanasia.2,3 Early diagnosis and intervention is essential to disrupting the vicious cycle of inflammation and pain†.
*In a prospective evaluation of canine OA prevalence in a primary care practice, 41% of dogs by age 4 had radiographic evidence of OA in at least one joint, one-third of which had clinical signs recognized by a veterinarian. Only 1/3 of owners with dogs with OA recognized the signs and only 11% of those dogs were receiving any treatment.
†The safe use of Galliprant has not been evaluated in dogs younger than 9 months of age and less than 8 lbs. (3.6 kg). If Galliprant is used long term, appropriate monitoring is recommended.
Inflammatory mediators like PGE2 play a pivotal role in OA pathogenesis and disease progression.
Increased PGE2 in the joint leads to sensitization, or windup, and can lead to heightened pain sensation and chronic pain.
Controlling inflammation is critical to managing OA pain.4,5,6
Why Galliprant is a first-line choice for canine OA treatment
Doesn’t just mask pain; it controls inflammation and pain at the source by targeting the EP4 receptor of PGE2
Unique MOA reduces the impact on organ health7,8
Proven effective at improving pain interference, pain severity, quality of life and veterinary assessments9
Safety of label dose is supported by laboratory study in healthy dogs receiving ~15x the dose continuously for 9 months**
**No adverse event was serious enough to require removal from study. Treatment was associated with mild GI signs (soft stools with mucus and/or blood, vomiting) and mild, reversible decreases in total protein and albumin. There were no clinically significant changes in liver, kidney or coagulation parameters, or pathologic changes within the kidneys, liver or stomach.
