Important Update on Librela for Osteoarthritis Pain in Dogs

February 17, 2025

We want to inform you about a recent update regarding Librela (bedinvetmab injection), a medication used to manage osteoarthritis pain in dogs. The FDA has provided updated guidance to ensure the medication’s safe use, which includes information about its post-approval experiences.

What You Should Know:

  • Librela remains safe and effective: The injection targets a key pain mediator in the body and is used monthly to help manage chronic osteoarthritis pain in dogs.
  • FDA Update: The FDA has updated the label for Librela to include additional information about potential adverse events reported from real-world use. These adverse events are rare and have been monitored closely.
  • No recall or removal: The FDA has not issued a recall or removed Librela from the market. The update simply provides additional information based on post-approval data.
  • New resources for pet owners: Zoetis, the manufacturer, has added a Client Information Sheet (CIS) with details on how to monitor your dog after receiving Librela, and when to contact your veterinarian.

What You Can Do:

  • If your dog is currently using Librela, rest assured that it is still a safe and effective treatment.
  • We recommend keeping an eye on your dog for any unusual symptoms after treatment and contacting us if you have concerns.
  • If you’d like more information or have questions, we’re happy to discuss this update with you during your pet’s next visit.

Your pet’s health and well-being are our top priority, and we are here to support you with any concerns about their treatment.

For further information, feel free to contact us!
