What is Loxicom®(meloxicam oral suspension)?
Loxicom (meloxicam) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) prescribed by your vet to help control pain and inflammation from osteoarthritis in dogs. Because it comes in liquid form, you can give to your dog directly by mouth or simply disguise it in his favorite wet food. Customers may receive this drug under the name Metacam, Meloxidyl, Loxicom. Loxicom is bioequivalent to the pioneer product, Metacam (meloxicam), and it uses the same active ingredient for effective pain relief. This oral suspension comes with two sizes of dosing syringes to make administering easy for small and large dogs. Loxicom is available in 10 ml, 32 ml, and 100 ml bottles and requires a prescription from your veterinarian.
