Who is Meloxidyl 1.5 mg/ml Oral Suspension for?
Dogs must be 6 weeks or older.
Why use Meloxidyl 1.5 mg/ml Oral Suspension?
Meloxidyl is the first Metacam-equivalent alternative. This medicine, which contains meloxicam, aids in the treatment of osteoarthritis inflammation and discomfort, as well as improving your dog's mobility. This drug is an excellent way to enhance your osteoarthritic dog's quality of life, with the same high standards and efficacy as the name-brand Metacam, a user-friendly syringe for uncomplicated administration, and a low probability of mid-dosing.
How does Meloxidyl 1.5 mg/ml Oral Suspension work?
Meloxicam is the active component of Meloxidyl. Prostaglandin production is inhibited by this medication. It temporarily reduces the presence of this enzyme, resulting in a significant decrease in inflammation.
