Loxicom cats 0,5mg 15ml | anti-inflammatory in oral suspension

Loxicom for cats 0,5 mg/ml is a meloxicam oral suspension in a 15 ml bottle, with a syringe graduated by weight in kilograms. It relieves inflammation and pain associated with chronic musculoskeletal disorders in cats.

What is it for

It is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) for feline use. Meloxicam inhibits prostaglandin synthesis and helps improve the cat's mobility without causing sedation.

How it is used

Shake the bottle and administer the dose orally, with or without food, using the included syringe. The manufacturer's instructions are 0,1 mg/kg on the first day and 0,05 mg/kg daily thereafter. The weight scale on the syringe makes measuring the dose easier. If there is no clinical improvement within 14 days, the manufacturer advises discontinuing use.

FAQ

How do you calculate the dosage for a cat?

Following the manufacturer's instructions: 0,1 mg/kg on the first day, then 0,05 mg/kg per day. The syringe is graduated in kilograms of body weight.

Why does it use a specific syringe?

Because it is graduated in kilograms of live weight, the cat's dose is measured without calculating volume.

Is a dog suspension suitable for a cat?

That's not the right approach. The feline version has its own specific dosage and dosage guidelines, and the choice should be made by the veterinarian.

When will the effect be noticeable?

The manufacturer states that relief is usually seen within 7 days. If there is no clinical improvement after 14 days, the manufacturer recommends discontinuing treatment.

What do I do if I miss a dose?

Do not double it: give the next dose at its usual time and continue with the daily regimen of 0,05 mg/kg.

How many times a day is it given?

Once a day, after shaking the bottle, administer orally, with or without food. The included syringe has a scale in kg of body weight to measure the dose for your cat.
