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.

Shake well before use. To be administered mixed with food.

The suspension can be given using either the drop dispenser (for very small breeds) or the Flexicam measuring syringe provided in the package.

The dispenser provides 0.05 mg Meloxicam per drop (i.e. a dose of 0.1 mg Meloxicam/kg body weight corresponds to 2 drops/kg body weight). The syringe fits onto the bottle and has a kg - body weight scale which corresponds to the maintenance dose (i.e. 0.1 mg/kg body weight). Thus, for the first day, twice the maintenance volume will be required.

Dosing procedure using the measuring syringe:

1. Shake bottle well. Push down and unscrew bottle top. Attach the dosing syringe to the bottle by gently pushing the end onto the top of the bottle.

2. Turn the bottle/syringe upside down. Pull the plunger out until the black line on the plunger corresponds to your dog's body weight in kilograms.

3. Turn the bottle the right way up and with a twisting movement, separate the dosing syringe from the bottle.

4. By pushing the plunger in, empty the contents of the syringe onto the food.

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.

Avoid introduction of contamination during use.

Particular care should be taken with regard to the accuracy of dosing. Please carefully follow the instructions of the veterinarian.
