Phenylbutazone Tablets are a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) commonly prescribed to help relieve pain, inflammation, and fever in horses and dogs. They're often used to support comfort in conditions such as lameness, arthritis, and other musculoskeletal issues, helping animals feel more at ease during recovery or periods of physical strain.
These easy-to-administer tablets provide reliable anti-inflammatory support when consistent dosing is needed. By reducing swelling and soreness, Phenylbutazone Tablets help improve mobility and overall comfort, making them a practical option for short-term or ongoing management under veterinary guidance.
Phenylbutazone Tablets are intended for use in horses and dogs only and should be given exactly as directed by a licensed veterinarian. Dosage varies based on species, weight, and condition, and proper use helps ensure effective relief while supporting your animal's long-term health and well-being.
Phenylbutazone should not be administered to animals with serious hepatic, renal or cardiac pathology, or those with a history of blood dyscrasia. PHENYLBUTAZONE SHOULD NOT BE ADMINISTERED TO MEAT, EGG OR MILK PRODUCING ANIMALS BECAUSE THE STATUS OF RESIDUES OF DRUG REMAINING IN EDIBLE TISSUES HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED. Use with caution in animals with a history of drug allergy. Response to phenylbutazone therapy is prompt, usually occurring within 24 hours. If no significant clinical response is evident after 5 days of therapy, re-evaluate diagnosis and therapeutic regimen.
Stop medication at the first sign of gastrointestinal upset, jaundice or blood dyscrasia. Authenticated cases of agranulocytosis associated with phenylbutazone have occurred in man. Phenylbutazone induced blood dyscrasias have been reported in dogs. Thrombocytopenia and leukopenia are early manifestations followed by nonregenerative anemia. The occurrence of this reaction is not dose dependent and is unpredictable.
To guard against this possibility, conduct routine blood counts at not more than 7 day intervals during the early course of therapy, and at intervals of not more than 14 days throughout the course of therapy. Any significant fall in the total white count, relative decrease in granulocytes or black or tarry stools should be regarded as a signal for immediate cessation of therapy and institution of appropriate treatment.
Disposal of Unused Prescription Medications
- Return unwanted or unused medications to Revival Animal Health in person, or visit www.disposemymeds.org to find a pharmacy near you.
- A secondary method of drug disposal is to remove the unwanted medication from any wrappers or containers and place it in a plastic bag with moist coffee grounds or cat litter. This can be disposed of in the regular garbage collection.
- Please do NOT dispose of unwanted meds down the drain or toilet, as this may eventually find its way into the human water supply.

Disposal of Medical Sharps
- When you're finished with the syringe and needle, do not try to recap, remove, bend or break the needle. This is where most injuries occur.
- Dispose the syringe and needle immediately in a nearby sharps container. All sharps must be deposited in a puncture-proof container. Make sure your storage location is child and animal proof.
- As with all product handling, make sure you wash your hands after handling medical sharps.
Disposal of Sharps Container
- When your sharps container is half-full, sift dry Portland Cement throughout the sharps. Fill the container with water, and rotate until the cement is mixed and the sharps have been distributed throughout the cement mixture. Let cement dry for 24 hours.
- Seal the lid of the container tightly and use duct tape to seal. Label the container "Livestock Sharps" to properly identify the contents.
- Dispose of the containers in accordance with your state's regulations.
