Best Answer

The short answer is all human medications - they are formulated and tested specifically for humans, and many of them can cause severe side effects or even death in dogs. In the vast majority of cases, you need to get medications that are specifically marketed for dogs.

In the few instances where human medications are safe for dogs, once the dose is adjusted, you still need veterinary instruction or prescription to use them - using human medications in a dog is an off-label drug use that requires a medical professional such as a veterinarian to approve it.
