Metacam® Oral Suspension is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and is used to reduce the pain and inflammation related to musculo-skeletal disorders in cats and guinea pigs.
Metacam® oral suspension can be used in cats for both chronic (long-term) musculoskeletal conditions, such as arthritis, and acute (sudden and short-lived) musculoskeletal disorders, such as an injury.
Metacam® oral suspension can also be used to reduce post-operative pain and inflammation following soft tissue surgery in cats and guinea pigs, and orthopaedic (e.g. fracture repair) surgery in cats.
Metacam® contains meloxicam, which belongs to a class of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Meloxicam acts by blocking an enzyme called cyclooxygenase which is involved in the production of prostaglandins. As prostaglandins are substances that trigger inflammation, pain, exudation (fluid that leaks out of blood vessels during an inflammation) and fever, meloxicam reduces these signs of disease.
In cats, Metacam® is used to reduce post-operative pain and inflammation following orthopaedic (e.g. fracture operation) and soft tissue surgery. Moreover, Metacam® for Cats is used for the alleviation of inflammation and pain in both acute and chronic musculo-skeletal disorders.
Metacam® oral suspension for cats and guinea pigs is a 0.5 mg/ml suspension and is available in 3 bottle sizes:
• 3 ml
• 15 ml
• 30 ml
Full instructions on the use of Metacam for Cats are included in every pack, though do also follow your vets recommendations.
Metacam is a prescription item and will be sent once a valid prescription is received.
