woody2shoes Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Hi, Just wondering if anyone has had experience with this particular Anti Inflammatory drug? A friend of mine has had it prescribed for her dog as a less expensive alternative to Metacam. I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks in advance. w2s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsfevr Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 We have/are using it with no issues but ofcourse every dog is different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crisovar Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 The actual drug in Metacam is Meloxicam, they are exactly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curlygirl Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 As Crisovar said its exactly the same drug/ingredient. I think the patent has expired on Metacam and other drug manufacturers can now release their version of metacam. Just like Nurofen or Herron Ibuprofen, Panadol or Herron Paracetamol. Hope this makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
