Directions for use: Shake well before use. Give directly into the mouth or mix into food, twice daily.
How does the medicine work? : The herbal blend selectively inhibits COX-2 and blocks prostaglandin synthesis - the pathway responsible for pain, fever and inflammation - while also preventing the release of pain-signalling neurotransmitters.
