Description
Meloxicam Tablets for pets contain Meloxicam, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) belonging to the oxicam class. It is widely used in veterinary medicine for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic properties. Meloxicam works by selectively inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX-2) enzymes, thereby reducing the production of prostaglandins responsible for pain, inflammation, and swelling. It provides effective relief from acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions and improves mobility and comfort in pets.
