What is Metacam Oral Suspension?

Metacamfor dogs is an anti-inflammatory drug for the treatment of pain and inflammation relating to musculo-skeletal disorders including arthritis in dogs and acute (sudden and short-lived) musculoskeletal disorders, such as an injury. Metacam for dogs is commonly used to reduce post-operative pain and inflammation following orthopaedic (e.g. fracture operation) and soft tissue surgery.

How Does Metacam Oral Suspension work?

The active ingredient in Metacam Oral Suspension is Meloxicam which belongs to a class of medicines known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

Meloxicam acts by blocking an enzyme called cyclooxygenase which is involved in the production of prostaglandins. As prostaglandins are substances that trigger inflammation, pain, exudation of fluid (fluid that leaks out of blood vessels during inflammation) and fever, meloxicam reduces these signs of disease.
