Description
Metaflam Oral Suspension Drop is a veterinary NSAID formulated with Meloxicam, designed to relieve pain and inflammation in dogs 6 months or older. It works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX), reducing prostaglandin production, which helps manage both acute and chronic musculoskeletal disorders. Though similar to Carprofen, Metaflam has a lower COX-2 to COX-1 inhibition ratio, making it a trusted option for pain control and mobility support in pets. Ideal for conditions like arthritis and post-surgical pain, it ensures improved comfort and well-being. Always consult a veterinarian for proper dosage and safe administration.

- Excipients: Inactive ingredients that support suspension stability, absorption, and effectiveness.

- Initial Dosage: Administer 4 drops per kg body weight on the first day.
