FAQS

[toggles style=”minimal”][toggle color=”Extra-Color-1″ title=”How long will the effects of Doxidyl® last?”]

1 dose will control pain and inflammation for 24 hours.

[/toggle][toggle color=”Extra-Color-1″ title=”Can Doxidyl® be crushed/broken and given with food?”]

We do not recommend crushing the tablets. Dosing accuracy is best achieved if the tablet is broken using the score mark. Since Doxidyl® is palatable, it is possible that other animals in the house could consume the fragments of the tablets, which could be toxic (especially to cats).

[/toggle][toggle color=”Extra-Color-1″ title=”Should Doxidyl® be given with or without food?”]

Giving it with food facilitates better bioavailability, but it can be given without food.

[/toggle][toggle color=”Extra-Color-1″ title=”Can Doxidyl® be placed in food (for example, placed in with wet food for dinner?)”]

It is not recommend. When medication is placed in food, the dog might not eat the correct dosage or a second pet may inadvertently consume the medication.

[/toggle][toggle color=”Extra-Color-1″ title=”Are the tablets scored so they can be broken in half?”]

Yes, they are scored and can be broken in half.
