Dosage and administration
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 clinical response has been observed (after ā„ 4
days), the dose of Metacam 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. Shake well
before use. To be administered orally either mixed with food or directly into the
mouth.
