FAQ
- Why is the pack only 2 tablets?
- Each tablet covers one month. A 2-pack is a 2-month supply. Buy as many packs as your prescription allows.
- Does it stack with other painkillers?
- Generally NSAIDs are not combined. Your vet may add gabapentin or paracetamol-codeine for additional pain control - they should not be doubled up on NSAIDs.
