Daxocox Tablet 70mg Pack of 12

Managing osteoarthritis in dogs requires consistent and reliable treatment to ensure their comfort and mobility. Daxocox Tablet 70mg Pack of 12 offers a targeted approach by delivering enflicoxib, a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor. This means it specifically targets the enzymes responsible for pain, exudation, and inflammation, helping to reduce discomfort while minimising potential side effects often associated with less selective NSAIDs.

The once-weekly administration of Daxocox 70mg Tablets simplifies your dog's treatment regimen, making it easier to adhere to the prescribed dosage and maintain a steady level of medication in their system. This can significantly improve your dog's quality of life, allowing them to move more freely and comfortably.
