Inflacam 2.5 mg Chewable Tablets 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.
Each chewable tablet contains 2.5 mg meloxicam, which corresponds to the daily
maintenance dose for a 25 kg body weight dog.
Each chewable tablet can be halved for accurate dosing according to the individual
body weight of the dog.
To ensure a correct dosage, body weight should be determined as accurately as
possible.
The use of suitably calibrated measuring equipment is recommended.
The veterinary medicinal products can be administered with or without food, are
flavoured and are taken by most dogs voluntarily.
