Vedaprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) commonly used in veterinary medicine to combat pain, inflammation, and fever associated with acute and chronic musculoskeletal disorders in horses and dogs. In addition to inhibiting COX and reducing prostaglandin H2 synthesis, vedaprofen is reported to block the activity of the E. coli DNA polymerase III β subunit, preventing DNA replication and repair.
