INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER DRUGS
Drugs of the NSAID class should not be used concurrently as the potential for the aforementioned side effects increases. For similar reasons, NSAIDS should not be used in conjunction with corticosteroid hormones such as prednisone, dexamethasone etc. Pfizer recommends a 2 - 3 day rest period when changing over to carprofen or to another NSAID from carprofen. Aspirin poses an exception due to its strong platelet inactivating abilities so 10-14 days is recommened when switching to carprofen from apsirin. Allow at least one week between prednisone and carprofen. Rimadyl |
The rimadyl is not combined with the dexamethasone. He had the shots yesterday and started the rimadyl and the enrofloxacin today - this morning.
