You can overlap with NSAIDs for 2 weeks - that's on the license. They didn't test beyond that so its not on the license.

Strange, mild arthritis progressing to severe.... would happen anyway surely, so hard to assess if a treatment speeds things up. Maybe in humans there is longer to live with the disease

I'm about to start a dog on it next week that won't take oral meds. Will report back.

I think that is if they are on concurrent arthritis medication as well. Looks like Librela has to be used on it's own so could risk worsening clinical signs initially.

SPC comments that this has not been noted in dogs.

The results of clinical trials didnt sound too exciting or impressive wherever it was i read them (SPC maybe?), but you cant beat real world experience and another tool in the arsenal for cat OA in particular (when comes here) could be very welcome.

Please let me know any feedback you get!

I started very recently to use Librela I have 5 patients on it, first dose only.....I am waiting for feedback and reassessment. I hope to see some improvement.

Is that the new monoclonal antibody treatment for OA? Watched the webinar yesterday and thought it looked quite interesting, reasonably keen to try it. Also looing forward to the cat version!
