Arthrocam 1.5 mg/ml Oral Suspension for Dogs

Shake well before use.
To be administered mixed with a small amount of 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. For longer term
treatment, once a clinical response has been observed (after 4 days), the dose 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.
Particular care should be taken with regard to the accuracy of dosing.
The suspension can be given using the measuring syringes provided in the package.
The appropriate syringe should be used depending on the body weight of the animal.
The syringes fit onto the bottle and have a kg-body weight scale which corresponds
to the maintenance dose (i.e. 0.1 mg meloxicam/kg body weight). 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.
