Intas Melonex (Meloxicam) Oral Suspension (Syrup)

Product Description

Intas Melonex Oral Suspension for Dogs and Cats - Precise, Vet-Prescribed Pain Relief in a Liquid Format Joint pain in dogs doesn't announce itself loudly. It shows up as a dog who's slower to get up in the morning, reluctant to climb stairs, less enthusiastic about walks - small changes that are easy to miss or dismiss as aging. In cats, it's even quieter. And yet chronic pain from arthritis, musculoskeletal conditions, and post-surgical inflammation significantly affects quality of life, every single day. The Intas Melonex Oral Suspension brings one of the most trusted veterinary NSAIDs - Meloxicam - into a liquid format that allows precise, weight-based dosing to the nearest fraction of a millilitre. For small dogs, cats, kittens, and any animal where a tablet is too large or a precise low dose is critical, the suspension format is often the more appropriate and effective choice over a tablet. Manufactured and marketed by Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Ahmedabad - one of India's most established pharmaceutical companies, with a decades-long veterinary portfolio. Available in a 10 ml bottle at ₹77. Each ml of suspension contains: Meloxicam IP - 1.5 mg. This is a Schedule H prescription medication. Use only under veterinary supervision. The dose, frequency, and duration of treatment are entirely determined by your vet based on your pet's weight, diagnosis, and overall health. What Are the Uses and

FAQs What is Intas Melonex Oral Suspension used for in dogs and cats? Melonex Oral Suspension contains Meloxicam 1.5 mg/ml - a preferential COX-2 inhibitor NSAID used to treat pain and inflammation in dogs and cats. It is prescribed for osteoarthritis and chronic joint pain, post-surgical recovery, musculoskeletal injuries, dental pain, fever, and acute pain from trauma. The liquid format allows precise weight-based dosing, making it the preferred format for cats and small dogs where tablet dosing is not accurate enough. Why is the suspension format better than a tablet for cats? Cats require extremely low, precise doses of Meloxicam - often 0.05 mg/kg per day, which for a 4 kg cat is just 0.2 mg. No tablet can be split to this accuracy. The 1.5 mg/ml suspension allows this dose to be measured as 0.13 ml using a calibrated syringe - achievable precisely every time. This accuracy is critical because Meloxicam overdose in cats can cause acute kidney failure. The suspension is the safer, more appropriate format for feline use. Is Meloxicam safe for cats? At the correct vet-prescribed dose, Meloxicam can be used in cats - but with significantly more caution than in dogs. Cats are far more sensitive to NSAIDs than dogs, and even a small overdose can cause serious kidney damage. Long-term use in cats is generally not recommended without specialist guidance. Always follow your vet's exact dose instructions for cats and never use a dose calculated for a dog on your cat. Can I give my pet human Meloxicam (Mobic) instead? Never. Human Meloxicam tablets (Mobic) contain 7.5 mg or 15 mg per tablet - the veterinary oral suspension contains 1.5 mg per ml. Using a human tablet on a pet is a severe overdose situation, particularly dangerous for cats. Always use the veterinary-formulated product at the veterinary-prescribed dose. How long does it take for Melonex to start working? Meloxicam begins reducing inflammation and pain within 1-2 hours of the first dose. For acute conditions like post-surgical pain or injury, meaningful relief is typically seen within the first day. For chronic arthritis, the full anti-inflammatory benefit builds over several days of consistent once-daily dosing - pets often show gradual, progressive improvement over the first week rather than immediate dramatic change. Can Melonex be used alongside other pain medications? No - never combine Meloxicam with another NSAID (such as Carprofen or Aspirin) or with corticosteroids (such as Prednisolone) without explicit vet guidance. Combining anti-inflammatory drugs dramatically increases the risk of GI ulceration, bleeding, and kidney damage. If your pet is transitioning from one NSAID to another, there must be a washout period - your vet will specify how long. My dog has been on Melonex long-term. What monitoring is needed? For dogs on long-term Meloxicam, your vet will schedule periodic bloodwork - typically every 3-6 months - to check kidney function, liver enzymes, and overall health. Do not skip these check-ins. Early detection of any NSAID-related organ effects allows dose adjustment or transition to an alternative before serious damage occurs. Your pet may feel fine while kidney or liver values are quietly changing - the bloodwork is the only way to know. What should I do if my pet accidentally gets a double dose? Contact your vet immediately - do not wait for symptoms. A double dose of Meloxicam, particularly in a cat, is a potential toxicity emergency. Your vet will advise on monitoring, whether the pet needs to be seen urgently, and any supportive care needed. Do not give the next scheduled dose until you've spoken to your vet and received clearance.
