My vet prescribed Rimadyl, which is very expensive! Is this a generic version of Rimadyl, it's a NSAID?

My dogs also took Rimadyl, one for hip displaxia and one for arthritis. This particular brand does not work well at all; but there is another powder with "triple glucosamine max" and it has worked just as well as Rimadyl; highly recommend "Joint Max Triple Strength" meat type nuggets.

I'm sorry I cannot answer this question. We have an older dog with arthritic joints. It certainly seems to help our Molly get around without pain..... at least she doesn't limp anymore.

Hi.. I am not sure. I would ask your vet. We use this for our dog that has hip dysplasia it's glucosamine.

Rimadyl is probably proven best. I have switched to Meloxicam. Ask your vet and/or pharmacist. Waaay cheeper but may not be apples to apples.

No. Rimadyl is an NSAID whereas Phycox has glucosamine (sp?) Which helps joint pain and inflamation. I think carprofen is the generic form of rimadyl which is cheaper. Also, you can see if your vet will write the script for 1-800petmeds which is almost always cheaper.

,No Rimadyl is NSAID Phycox helps with joints. I know it helps so I don't use Rimadyl anymore.

Yes, it is the same. My vet also wrote me a RX originally but, then I found them online MUCH cheaper. Note: Some places, i.e. Petsmart, will not sell them to you w/o a RX. There is a site called Entirely Pets that sells thru Amazon that is usually most reasonable. Hope this helps.

I don't know if they are the same product. Arthri-D did not provide any relief for me. JMJR

What your vet has prescribed is exactly the same. The package I bought from Amazon is 6.35 oz. but the count is not indicated. Any other question you should contact the manufacturer: www.vetoquinolusa.com

I believe it's similar. Our vet prescribed cyclosporin, but it was quite pricey for the amount/frequency that we need to use them for our Pug. So far the iDrops are getting the job done!

Yes it is!..Thankfully we didn't quite hit the Rimadyl stage,very close but didn't start it. Our Lily is doing very well on Phycox Max. She occasionally over does it activity wise ,because she is feeling so much better, and we might give her a pain pill at night. That is a rare occurrence though, her cruciate tear is healing nicely and she still LOVES her chews!

you have to talk with your vet. the ingredients on same for dogs and humans is not identical, the differences may not be beneficial to your dog.

Hi JoAnne: Funny, but my my vet suggested buying it online as it's less expensive due to overhead costs as they can't buy in bulk. Thus, I would assume it is the same. All I can say is that I know it works. Maybe time for a new vet?

It's generic Tavist. Works better than other antihistamines for some people (including my husband).

Sorry I can't help. I can tell you it is the exact same product/formula prescribed by our Vet at a fraction of the cost. Cost from the Canine Eye Clinic/Surgeon was in the neighborhood of $40. Same bottle - same label, etc. Sorry.

I have used both Rimadyl and Phycox for many years with my 8 year old female, I would of course consult with your Vet first.

I'll tell you what...I'm not sure. The photo shows the capsule version, but the description says tablet. I have only purchased the capsule version. I have a 20 lb dog who gets meds 3 times a day and I have found these larger pill pockets to be pretty cost effective. They are very soft and pliable so you can pull them apart and form them around the medication no matter the size. By the way, my dog LOVES medicine time because of this product.

The ingredients should be on the label. As with any over the counter med. check with your doctor. I didn't take this I gave it to my dog. It works.

I think you'll need to go to the manufacturer for that but this product has changed my dog's life for the better. She's now 9. She had to stop running with me a couple years ago because she just got too sore. After taking glucosamine for a couple weeks she started running with me again (about 6 miles a week) and has been for 2 years. No aches, no pains, she loves it. Great product. I highly recommend it.

I actually buy (or have bought) this product for senior dogs with joint issues/pain...and it really makes a difference. I may start taking it myself soon... I am in my 50's and am having joint pain (esp.knees and ankles). Read the bottle info or go to product website to see if there are any "age" restrictions or drug/food interactions to be aware of.

Please note: Other buyers say they switched to Advantix. My vet was out of Frontline and only had Advantix so I bought it. My Bichon Frise was running around the house and crying all day and night after I applied it. Turned out it gave him a chemical burn, and had to be washed off with Dawn. Be careful when trying something new.
