What are Rheumocam Chewable Tablets for Dogs

Rheumocam Chewable Tablets for Dogs are used to alleviate pain and inflammation in chronic and acute and musculo-skeletal disorders in dogs. They come in 100-tablet bottles with strengths of 1mg and 2.5mg.

The first treatment is one single dose of 0.2 mg meloxicam per kilogram of body weight. 

Treatment should then continue each day, once a day, by oral administration only at 24-hour intervals at a dose of 0.1 mg meloxicam per kg of body weight.

Each tablet is made up of either 1mg or 2.5mg of meloxicam. This matches the maintenance dose daily for a dog weighing 10kg, or a 25kg body weight dog, respectively. Each tablet can be cut in two to ensure accurate dosing related to the dog's body weight. The chewable tablets can be given with or without food, are pork flavoured and eaten voluntarily by most dogs. 

A clinical response is usually seen within three to four days. Treatment should be stopped  after ten days if no clinical improvement is seen.

How do Rheumocam Chewable Tablets for Dogs work?

The active ingredient is meloxicam, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It acts by inhibiting the prostaglandin synthesis. These prostaglandins are substances which trigger the inflammation, pain and fever, so the meloxicam has the effect of reducing those responses.
