Metacam Chewable Tablets for Dogs
Targeted Relief for Joint Pain and Inflammation
Metacam Chewable Tablets for Dogs are a veterinary non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) designed to relieve pain and inflammation. They are used in the treatment of both long-term musculoskeletal conditions such as arthritis, and short-term issues like injury or post-surgery recovery.
These tablets are flavoured for easy administration and are suitable for daily use under veterinary guidance.
What Is Metacam Used For?
Metacam is prescribed to dogs for:
Managing pain caused by arthritis and other joint problems
Treating inflammation from acute musculoskeletal injuries
Supporting comfort during recovery from surgery
Metacam helps improve your dog's mobility and quality of life when used as directed.
Active Ingredient
Meloxicam
Meloxicam reduces inflammation by targeting enzymes responsible for pain. It is well tolerated and widely used in veterinary medicine.
Tablet Strengths
Metacam chewable tablets are available in two strengths:
1 mg tablets
2.5 mg tablets
Each tablet can be halved for accurate dosing according to your dog’s weight.
For small dogs under 4 kg, Metacam Oral Suspension may be a more suitable option.
How to Administer
Metacam chewable tablets can be given with or without food
The palatable flavour means most dogs will take them willingly
Always follow your vet's dosage instructions precisely
If you’re unsure about timing or dosage, speak to your vet for guidance.
Important Safety Information
Do not use Metacam in:
Puppies under 6 weeks of age
Pregnant or lactating dogs
Dogs with gastrointestinal, liver, kidney, or heart problems
If your dog shows signs of vomiting, diarrhoea, loss of appetite, or lethargy, stop treatment and consult your vet immediately.
