Inflacam 1.5 mg/ml Oral Suspension for Dogs

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 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.
To ensure a correct dosage, body weight should be determined as accurately as
possible.
The use of suitably calibrated measuring equipment is recommended.
Shake well before use. To be administered orally either mixed with food or directly into
the mouth.
The suspension can be given using the measuring syringe provided in the package of
the veterinary medicinal product. 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). Thus for initiation of the therapy on the first day, twice the maintenance
volume will be required.
A clinical response is normally seen within 3 to 4 days. Treatment should be
discontinued after 10 days at the latest if no clinical improvement is apparent.
Avoid introduction of contamination during use.
