Dosage Cattle: Single subcutaneous or intravenous injection at a dose of 0.5 mg meloxicam/kg body weight (i.e. 1.25 ml/100 kg body weight) in combination with antibiotic therapy or with oral re-hydration therapy, as appropriate. Horses: Single intravenous injection at a dose of 0.6 mg meloxicam/kg body weight (i.e. 1.5 ml/100 kg body weight). For use in the alleviation of inflammation and the relief of pain in both acute and chronic musculo-skeletal disorders, Metacam 15 mg/ml oral suspension may be used for continuation of treatment at a dose of 0.6 mg meloxicam/kg body weight, 24 hours after administration of the injection. Avoid introduction of contamination during use.
Withdrawals Do not use in pregnant or lactating mares. Do not use in horses less than 6 weeks of age. Do not use in animals suffering from impaired hepatic, cardiac or renal function and haemorrhagic disorders, or where there is evidence of ulcerogenic gastrointestinal lesions. Do not use in cases of hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients. For the treatment of diarrhoea in cattle, do not use in animals of less than one week of age. Treatment of calves with Metacam 20 minutes before dehorning reduces post-operative pain. Metacam alone will not provide adequate pain relief during the dehorning procedure. To obtain adequate pain relief during surgery co-medication with an appropriate analgesic is needed. Cattle: Can be used during pregnancy and lactation. Horses: Do not use in pregnant or lactating mares. Do not administer concurrently with glucocorticosteroids, other NSAIDs or with anticoagulant agents. In case of overdose, symptomatic treatment should be initiated. In the absence of compatibility studies, this veterinary medicinal product must not be mixed with other veterinary medicinal products. Adverse Reactions In cattle, only a slight transient swelling at the injection site following subcutaneous administration was observed in less than 10 % of the cattle treated in clinical studies. In horses, a transient swelling at the injection site was observed in isolated cases in clinical studies, but resolved without intervention. Anaphylactoid reactions, which may be serious (including fatal), have been observed very rarely from post-marketing safety experience and should be treated symptomatically The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention: - very common (more than 1 in 10 animals treated displaying adverse reactions during the course of one treatment) - common (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 100 animals treated) - uncommon (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 1,000 animals treated) - rare (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 10,000 animals treated) - very rare (less than 1 animal in 10,000 animals treated, including isolated reports). Special precautions for use in animals If adverse reactions occur, treatment should be discontinued and the advice of a veterinarian should be sought. Avoid use in very severely dehydrated, hypovolaemic or hypotensive animals which require parenteral rehydration, as there may be a potential risk of renal toxicity. In case of inadequate relief of pain when used in the treatment of equine colic, careful re-evaluation of the diagnosis should be made as this could indicate the need for surgical intervention. Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals Accidental self-injection may give rise to pain. People with known hypersensitivity to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) should avoid contact with the veterinary medicinal product. In case of accidental self-injection, seek medical advice immediately and show the package leaflet or the label to the physician. In view of the risk of accidental self-injection and the known adverse class-effects of NSAIDs and other prostaglandin inhibitors on pregnancy and/or embryofoetal development, the veterinary medicinal product should not be administered by pregnant women or women attempting to conceive. This product can cause eye irritation. In case of contact with the eyes, immediately rinse thoroughly with water. Withdrawal Periods Cattle: Meat and offal – 15 days. Milk – 5 days. Horses: Meat and offal - 5 days. Not authorised for use in horses producing milk for human consumption.
