Carprofen was initially developed for use in humans as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), but it was withdrawn from human use due to concerns over its potential side effects, such as gastrointestinal issues and liver toxicity. The development of newer NSAIDs with improved safety profiles led to carprofen being predominantly used in veterinary medicine, particularly for managing pain and inflammation in dogs.
