Alleviation of inflammation and pain in both acute and chronic musculo-skeletal disorders

ACTIVE INGREDIENT:

Meloxicam 2.5mg

Initial treatment is a single dose of 0.2 mg meloxicam/kg body weight on the first day, which can be given orally or alternatively using Metacam® 5 mg/mL solution for injection. Treatment is to be continued once daily by oral administration (at 24-hour intervals) at a maintenance dose of 0.1 mg meloxicam/kg body weight. Each chewable tablet contains either 1.0 mg or 2.5 mg meloxicam, which corresponds to the daily maintenance dose for a 10 kg body weight dog, or a 25 kg body weight dog respectively. Tablets are scored and dosage should be calculated in half-tablet increments. Improvement is normally seen within 3-4 days. Treatment should be discontinued after 10 days at the latest if no improvement is apparent. Palatability: A controlled palatability study demonstrated free choice acceptance of 98.2% for the 1 mg chewable tablet, and of 99.5% for the 2.5 mg chewable tablet; the placebo was a treat type dog biscuit and had an acceptance of 100%.
