Animeloxan 1.5 mg/ml Oral Suspension for Dogs

To be administered mixed with food or directly into the mouth.
Initial treatment is a single dose of 0.2 mg meloxicam/kg body weight on the first day.
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 (equivalent to 0,07
ml/kg).
Particular care should be taken with regard to the accuracy of dosing.
The suspension can be given using the measuring syringe provided in the package.
The syringe provided allows dosing for dogs with a body weight of 2.5 – 45 kg. For
dosing for dogs with a body weight of less than 2.5 kg, a syringe with a smaller
volume (0.5 ml, 1 ml) must be used. The syringe fits onto the bottle and has a kg-
body weight scale which corresponds to the maintenance dose (i.e. 0.1 mg
meloxicam/kg body weight corresponds to 0,07 ml/kg bodyweight). Thus for the first
day, twice the maintenance volume will be required.

A clinical response is normally seen within 3 - 4 days. Treatment should be
discontinued after 10 days at the latest if no clinical improvement is apparent.
For longer term treatment, once clinical response has been observed (after ≥ 4 days),
the dose of the veterinary medicinal product can be adjusted to the lowest effective
individual dose reflecting that the degree of pain and inflammation associated with
chronic musculo-skeletal disorders may vary over time.
Avoid introduction of contamination during use.
