Rimadyl was hailed as a wonder arthritis treatment for pets when it came on the market in 1997. Rimadyl被称作是一个奇迹关节炎治疗宠物时，它的市场在1997年。 Over the next 3 years, due largely to an aggressive marketing campaign by the manufacturer, Pfizer, Rimadyl was prescribed for 5 million dogs.在未来的3年内，主要是因为积极的营销活动由制造商，辉瑞制药， Rimadyl是明为5万只狗。

But it hadn't been thoroughly tested.但它没有得到彻底的测试。 According to statistics compiled by the FDA (Food And Drug Administration), in 1997 alone, Rimadyl was implicated in 30 per cent of all veterinary adverse drug reaction reports received!据统计由美国（食品和药物管理局） ，仅1997年， Rimadyl被牵连的百分之三十的所有兽医药品不良反应报告！ Side effects included gastrointestinal, renal and liver problems, and death.副作用包括胃肠道，肾脏和肝脏的问题，和死亡。 Within those first three years, 10,000 dog owners had reported an adverse reaction to Rimadyl, and there were at least 1,500 deaths or euthanasias attributed to the drug.在这些头三年， 10000狗主人报告的不良反应，以Rimadyl ，并至少有1500人死亡或euthanasias归因于药物。 And it is generally accepted that many adverse reactions are not reported, so the real statistics are likely to be significantly higher.它被普遍接受，许多不良反应，不报告的，所以真正的统计数字很可能是显着。

You may remember the Rimadyl ads depicting older dogs bouncing around like puppies.你们可能记得在Rimadyl广告描绘老年人狗一样四处弹跳小狗。 Those dogs were the lucky ones.这些狗是幸运的。 And of course, the success stories were many, and they were amazing.当然，成功的事例有很多，他们感到惊讶。 But you no longer see those Rimadyl ads, do you?但是，你再也看不到这些Rimadyl的广告，你呢？

Is there a realistic alternative to Rimadyl?是否有一个现实的选择Rimadyl ？ One that provides such a marked improvement without the possible side effects?一，提供这样一个明显的改善，但可能带来的副作用？ Or should you take the risk that your dog won't develop side effects to Rimadyl?或者你应该承担风险，你的狗会不会发展的副作用，以Rimadyl ？

The good news is that Glucosamine, a natural sugar produced by the body and found in some foods, plays an important role in the production, maintenance and repair of cartilage.好消息是，氨基葡萄糖是一种天然糖生产的机构，发现在一些食品，发挥了重要作用的生产，保养和维修的软骨组织。 Supplementation with Glucosamine can therefore provide not only the pain relieving effects of Rimadyl, but also helps maintain existing healthy joint tissue and aid in rebuilding healthy new cartilage.补充葡萄糖因此可以提供不仅止痛效果Rimadyl ，而且还有助于保持现有的健康联合组织和援助，重建健康的新的软骨。

Should Rimadyl be removed from the market altogether?应Rimadyl被逐出市场完全？ No - there are certainly some cases where its use may be warranted - severe cases of arthritis which have been left untreated, or which have not responded to Glucosamine or other treatments.没有-当然有某些情况下使用可能需要-例严重的关节炎已经不及时治疗，或没有回应葡萄糖或其他治疗方法。 The results can be very worthwhile.结果可以是非常值得的。

But it should never be given to a dog with pre-existing liver or kidney problems.但它绝不应该考虑到狗与原有的肝脏或肾脏问题。 Your dog should be tested for these conditions before being prescribed Rimadyl.你的狗应该是测试这些条件之前，明Rimadyl 。 Many vets do not do this unless you ask for it specifically.许多兽医不这样做，除非你要求它具体。 And many vets do not advise that there is a natural arthritis treatment for dogs available.许多兽医并不建议，有一种天然关节炎治疗狗可用。 Not because it's ineffective, but just because many vets, like doctors, are trained to treat symptoms with drugs.不是因为它是无效的，只是因为许多兽医，如医生，受过严格训练，治疗症状药物。 And the drug companies have huge budgets for pushing the benefits of their medications, both for humans and animals.和制药公司拥有庞大预算的利益推动他们的药品，为人类和动物。 It doesn't necessarily mean that the drugs are better than the natural alternatives.这不一定意味着该药物均优于天然替代品。

So ask for Glucosamine, unless your vet can give you a compelling reason why your dog should use Rimadyl.因此，要求葡萄糖，除非您的兽医可以给你一个令人信服的理由，为什么你的狗应该使用Rimadyl 。 And you don't even need a prescription!和你甚至不需要处方！
