Is it safe for my dog to take Carprofen and Temaril P together?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Don’t panic! Benedryl can be safely given with Temeril-p . It may cause some drowsiness because the temeril-p already has an antihistamine in it but it sounds like that was the goal so no worries! Continue giving the Temeril P as prescribed. Best of luck to you and Mikko!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Lola. Yes, it is generally safe to give these medications together. It is always best to check with her veterinarian though as they will know her personal medical history. I hope this information helps!

Hello, I hope Sophie is recovering from her surgery well! Yes Sophie can take both of these medications at the same time. Temaril P is an antibiotic/steroid combination medication that is used to help dogs with skin allergies. Amoxicillin is also an antibiotic but works in a different way than the one in temaril P. Antibiotics can make pets have an upset stomach, so I would recommend giving these medications with food to help minimize the chance of this side effect Hope this helps!

Tramadol is an opioid meant to alleviate moderate pain, however there are research papers now that determined it is not that effective. Carprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication (like aspirin, but for dogs) which is given for certain types of pain such as arthritis. However Carprofen is excreted via the kidneys and if it is to be used, the dog receiving it needs to have a small blood test to verify that his kidneys are working properly. Also carprofen can cause stomach ulcers in some dogs. So unless your vet prescribes these medications for your dog, please do not give them. However, should your vet prescribe those medications for your other dog, you can tell him that you have them and then be informed of the proper dosage to give.

There are no drug interactions between omeprazole, carafate and carprofen however, don't give them all together. You would want to give the carprofen either 1 hour prior or 1 hour after giving the others. Carafate and Omeprazole given at the same time as carprofen will inhibit it's absorption. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

No, it is not safe to give them both at the same time. Please do not give Buster that second medication. You can give your vet a call to see if they feel an OTC medication may help him. Best of luck.

Good evening! As both carprofen and deramaxx are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, you are correct that they should not be used consecutively. I would withhold all medications until reaching out to your regular veterinarian or a poison control center (aspca or pet poison control) to discuss if any further treatment needs to be considered. Good luck!
