About METACAM
When you think pain relief in cats and dogs, think METACAM



Whether your patient is a dog suffering from osteoarthritis or a cat about to undergo orthopedic surgery, METACAM is the veterinary NSAID to have on hand. For 15 years, METACAM has delivered safe, effective, and easy pain relief to dogs and cats around the world.1 METACAM is:
  • The only injectable veterinary NSAID licensed for both cats and dogs
  • The only oral liquid veterinary NSAID for dogs with osteoarthritis
  • The only NSAID with a special oral liquid concentration to meet the unique needs of small dogs
  • A once-a-day product that provides a full 24 hours of relief
  • Easy to tailor to the appropriate dose for individual canine patients using FLEXIDOSE™—the ability to adjust dose gradually in small increments to reach the lowest effective dose—which can improve safety and save money over the long term

Think about it. Not only is METACAM approved for veterinary use in cats as well as in dogs, but also the oral formulation offers a significant dosing advantage in dogs. Unlike with a rigid tablet, there is no need to split pills to adjust dosage, making it easier to match the medication dosage to the weight of your canine patient. And because it is approved for long-term administration, you can trust METACAM to safely manage the pain of a chronic condition like canine osteoarthritis.

Nothing performs like METACAM. Thousands of veterinary practitioners can attest to this, as can the millions of dogs and cats around the world who are moving better because of it.
