Why does METACAM come in an oral liquid form rather than a pill or tablet?
Just as many children’s medicines come in liquid rather than pill form, liquid METACAM is designed to make it easier to administer the right dose to dogs than pills. METACAM Oral Suspension is made in a smooth liquid form so that dog owners can dispense it easily from the syringe. Because it’s liquid, it is easy to adjust the dose in small increments using the measuring syringe, with a precision unavailable from a rigid tablet. It is easily applied to the dog’s food or given directly into the dog’s mouth. Moreover, liquid METACAM is readily absorbed by dogs. And, dogs love the sweet honey-flavored taste. METACAM, the only NSAID available as an oral suspension, offers a highly convenient treatment option to dog owners and allows for accurate dosing for any size dog—something that chewable tablets cannot always achieve.
