Pharmacological Properties

Metaflam Easy Chews contains meloxicam, a non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drug (NSAID) used in veterinary medicine. It provides anti‑inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic effects by preferentially inhibiting cyclooxygenase‑2 (COX‑2), reducing prostaglandin synthesis that causes pain, fever, and inflammation.

Indications for Use

Metaflam Easy Chews is indicated for the relief of pain and inflammation associated with acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions, degenerative joint disease, and postoperative pain in dogs.

Do not administer to puppies younger than the minimum age specified by the manufacturer, or to pregnant or lactating animals without veterinary supervision.

Overdose

Signs of overdose may include gastrointestinal disturbances, depression, and renal dysfunction. In case of overdose, seek veterinary care and provide symptomatic and supportive treatment.

Special Warnings and Precautions
