disorders in dogs.
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.
Do not use in animals suffering from gastrointestinal disorders such as irritation and
haemorrhage, impaired hepatic, cardiac or renal function and haemorrhagic
disorders.
Do not use in known cases of hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the
excipients.
Do not use in dogs less than 6 weeks of age.

Appetite loss*, Lethargy*

Vomiting*, Diarrhoea*, Blood in faeces*, Gastrointestinal

Elevated liver enzymes
* Typical adverse reactions of NSAIDs
These side effects occur generally within the first treatment week and are in most
cases transient and disappear following termination of the treatment but in very rare
cases may be serious or fatal.
If adverse reactions occur, treatment should be discontinued and the advice of a
veterinarian should be sought.
Reporting adverse events is important. It allows continuous safety monitoring of a
veterinary medicinal product. Reports should be sent, preferably via a veterinarian, to
either the marketing authorisation holder, or its local representative, or the national
competent authority via the national reporting system. See also section 16 of the
package leaflet for contact details.
