Intas Melonex Oral Suspension 10ml – Pain Relief and Anti-Inflammatory Medicine for Dogs and Cats | Pet Arthritis & Fever Treatment

Key Features & What It Does

• Meloxicam belongs to the oxicam class of NSAIDs: It works by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis (the chemicals that drive inflammation, pain, swelling). 

• By reducing prostaglandin‐mediated responses, it helps with symptoms such as swelling, irritation, redness, pain, and reduced mobility (as in arthritis). 

• Oral suspension means easier administration—can be mixed with food or given directly (depending on vet instructions). 

Indications (What It’s Used For)

• Chronic or acute musculoskeletal disorders (e.g., osteoarthritis) in dogs.

• Joint pain, reduced mobility due to arthritis in aging pets.

• Some sources mention “other unlisted conditions as determined by your veterinarian” — meaning the vet may use it off‐label for similar types of pain/inflammation. 

Dosage & Administration Notes

• Always to be used as directed by a veterinarian. The specific dose and frequency depend on animal’s weight, condition, severity, and overall health.

• Some sources note: Administer orally 1 to 3 times a day (though official dose may vary). 

• Can be given directly into the mouth or mixed with food/water as per vet’s instruction. Shaking the bottle, measuring accurate dose, etc is important (for similar meloxicam formulations). 

Important Safety, Contra-indications & Side Effects

Contra-indications / caution

• Not always suitable for animals with: heart problems, respiratory problems, reduced liver or kidney function. 

• For meloxicam in cats specifically: repeated use has been associated with acute renal failure and death. (In one source: do not use in cats unless under strict vet supervision) 

• The safe use in dogs younger than ~6 months, or pregnant/lactating dogs, or dogs with certain conditions (bleeding disorders, dehydration, diuretic therapy) may not be well established.

Possible side effects
Common/less‐severe:

• Upset stomach, diarrhea, constipation, bloating. 

• Mild skin rash, runny nose or sore throat (some sources list these, though they seem less typical in NSAIDs). 

More serious side‐effects requiring immediate veterinary attention:

• Vomiting (especially if dark or coffee-grind like), bloody or tarry stools.

• Decreased urination, discolored urine or stools, jaundice (yellowing of skin/eyes), swelling, difficulty breathing. 

Interactions/other precautions

• Avoid using concurrently with other NSAIDs, corticosteroids, or in animals already on nephrotoxic drugs, without vet supervision.

• Ensure baseline health check (kidney/liver) and monitor during use. 

Storage & Other Notes

• As per one product page: Store below 30 °C. 

• Always follow vet’s prescription, do not self-medicate your pet.

• The product is marketed for dogs primarily; while some pages mention cats/pets, one must be very careful with cats (given known risks).
