- Chronic Musculoskeletal Disorders: Provides long-term pain relief and improved mobility for degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis.
- Pain Associated with Colic: In many regions, the meloxicam formulation is also utilized as a supportive medication for the relief of pain linked to equine colic.
ADMINISTRATION
Administered orally directly into the mouth or mixed with a small amount of food.
- Measuring the dose: Shake the bottle well before use. Use the specific measuring syringe provided in the package, which usually features a scale corresponding to the horse’s body weight.
- Direct oral administration: Insert the syringe into the gap between the horse’s front teeth and cheek teeth, then gently depress the plunger to empty the liquid.
