Galliprant (grapiprant) is not a traditional COX-2 inhibitor. Instead, it is a selective antagonist of the prostaglandin E2 EP4 receptor, which plays a key role in pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis in dogs. This means it works differently from typical COX-2 inhibitors like carprofen or meloxicam.
