Meloxicam Injection
Rapid-Acting NSAID Relief for Equine Pain and Inflammation
Active Ingredient: Meloxicam 20 mg/mL
Overview
Meloxicam is a veterinarian-administered, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) designed to provide fast and effective relief from pain and inflammation in horses. With its targeted COX-2 inhibition, Meloxicam offers a safer anti-inflammatory profile, helping manage acute pain while minimizing gastrointestinal and renal side effects often associated with NSAIDs.
Key Benefits

✅ Controls Inflammation
Reduces swelling and joint discomfort in musculoskeletal disorders, improving mobility and healing response.
✅ Selective COX-2 Inhibition
Offers targeted action with a lower risk of gastrointestinal irritation compared to non-selective NSAIDs.
✅ Single-Dose Convenience
In many cases, a single injection provides sufficient relief, making treatment simpler and less stressful for horses and handlers.

Clinically proven and widely used in equine practice for safe and effective control of pain and inflammation.
