Grapiprant is a substance used to manage pain and inflammation in animals, particularly in the treatment of osteoarthritis in dogs.

Essential insights

• Selective EP4 receptor inhibition: Grapiprant targets the EP4 prostaglandin receptor, which plays a key role in pain signaling and inflammation in joints.
• Gastrointestinal safety: By selectively targeting the EP4 receptor, Grapiprant avoids many gastrointestinal side effects commonly associated with NSAIDs.
• Minimized side effects: Grapiprant does not interfere with prostaglandins essential for normal physiological functions, reducing the risk of organ damage, such as to the stomach and kidneys.
