Side Effects

Side effects of Norocarp Carprieve Tablets 50mg X 500 Bl/Pk Ttl 500 tablets

The use of Norocarp Tablets is contraindicated in the cat, and the inadvertent administration of oral carprofen tablets may induce life-threatening conditions in this species.
Do not exceed the stated dose.
Do not administer NSAIDs concurrently or within 24 hours of each other. Some NSAIDs may be highly bound to plasma proteins and compete with other highly bound drugs, which can lead to toxic effects.
Do not use in dogs suffering from cardiac, hepatic or renal disease, where there is a possibility of gastrointestinal ulceration or bleeding, or where there is evidence of a blood dyscrasia or hypersensitivity to the product.
Use in dogs less than 6 weeks of age, or in aged animals, may involve additional risk. If such use cannot be avoided, such dogs may require a reduced dosage and careful clinical management.
Avoid use in any dehydrated, hypovolaemic or hypotensive dog, as there is a potential risk of increased renal toxicity.
Concurrent administration of potential nephrotoxic drugs should be avoided.
In the absence of any specific studies in pregnant bitches, such use is not indicated.
NSAIDs can cause inhibition of phagocytosis and hence in the treatment of inflammatory conditions associated with bacterial infection, appropriate concurrent antimicrobial therapy should be instigated.

Q & A

Q. can norocarp 20ml be use in the treatment of snakebites
A.

It will certainly reduce the pain, swelling and inflammation of the bite, and as such can be very valuable. However, I would strongly advise that you take veterinary advice regarding the treatment of snake bites, as antivenom and/or antibiotics may be needed as well as anti-inflammatory treatment.
Please note as well that Norocarp is a prescription-only medication, so you would need a veterinary prescription before we can dispense it.

I hope this helps,
