Novartis' new NSAID

June 1, 2011
Today we went to Novartis in Basel. It was specifically interesting when they started to talk about Robenacoxib, a new NSAID that can be used in cats. This is very ground breaking as there are not many options for painkiller use in cats. Among the advantages discussed about the drug which make it effective and safe in cats include a rapid excretion time, a specificity for action on inflamed areas, and a quick efficacy time. The presenter also explained it was approved and coming to market soon in the US. I am so excited about this new opportunity to treat and help cats.
