Buy Onsior

Onsior (Robenacoxib) is an anti-inflammatory veterinary medicine for use in cats and dogs to treat pain and inflammation. In cats, Onsior tablets are used to treat pain and inflammation associated with acute (short term) and chronic (long term) musculoskeletal disorders (problems with the muscles and bones) and to reduce moderate pain and inflammation associated with orthopaedic (bone) surgery. In dogs, Onsior tablets are used to treat pain and inflammation associated with chronic osteoarthritis (a long-term disease-causing pain and inflammation in the joints) and soft tissue surgery. Onsior contains the active substance robenacoxib. Robenacoxib belongs to a class of medicines called non‑steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It works by blocking an enzyme involved in producing substances called prostaglandins which cause pain and inflammation. By blocking the production of prostaglandins, robenacoxib reduces the pain and inflammation caused by musculoskeletal disorders, surgery or osteoarthritis.
