- Liberal for dogs is an innovative drug for the alleviation of pain associated with osteoarthritis in dogs. The medication contains a canine monoclonal antibody (mAb) which targets nerve growth factor (NGF).
- This inhibits NGF-mediated cell signalling which has been demonstrated to provide relief from pain associated with osteoarthritis.
- The product is administered by monthly injection and has been proven to reduce pain scores in dogs with osteoarthritis.
Dosage and administration
For subcutaneous use.
Dosage and treatment schedule
- The recommended dose is 0.5-1.0 mg/kg bodyweight, once a month.
- For dogs weighing <5.0 kg aseptically withdraw 0.1 ml/kg from a single 5 mg/ml vial and administer subcutaneously.
For dogs between 5 and 60 kg administer the entire content of the vial (1 ml) according to the table below:
