Directions for Use of Rheumocam Oral Suspension for Dogs 1.5mg/ml 100ml

Always shake the bottle well before use. Rheumocam Oral Suspension for Dogs 1.5mg/ml 100ml should be administered orally, ideally mixed with food or directly into your dog's mouth. It is crucial to follow the exact dosage instructions provided by your veterinary surgeon to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.

Initial Treatment (First Day):

• Administer a single dose of 0.2 mg meloxicam per kg of body weight. This is equivalent to twice the daily maintenance dosage.

Maintenance Treatment (Subsequent Days):

• Continue treatment once daily by oral administration (at 24-hour intervals) at a maintenance dose of 0.1 mg meloxicam per kg of body weight.

Administering the Suspension:

The suspension can be given using the measuring syringe provided in the package. The syringe has a scale that corresponds to the maintenance dose based on your dog's body weight.

Please follow these steps:

1. Step 1: Before first use, ensure you have the bottle, circular plastic insert, and syringe.
2. Step 2: Place the circular plastic insert into the neck of the bottle and push it down until securely in place. Once inserted, the plastic insert does not need to be removed.
3. Step 3: Replace the cap on the bottle and shake it well. Remove the bottle cap and attach the dosing syringe to the bottle by gently pushing the end into the hole.
4. Step 4: Turn the bottle with the syringe in place upside down and slowly withdraw the plunger until the required dose is evident on the syringe scale.
5. Step 5: Turn the bottle and syringe the right way up and, with a twisting movement, separate the syringe from the bottle.
6. Step 6: Push the plunger until all contents of the syringe have been dispensed onto the food or directly into your dog's mouth.

A clinical response is normally seen within 3–4 days. Treatment should be discontinued after 10 days at the latest if no clinical improvement is apparent. Always avoid introducing contamination during use.
