ORIHEAL PETOXICAM ORAL SUSPENSION FOR DOGS & CATS

“Petoxicam” is a veterinary pharmaceutical product containing meloxicam, which is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory properties. It’s typically used in the management of:

• • Arthritis and osteoarthritis

  • Musculoskeletal disorders

  • Post-operative pain

  • Otitis, dermatitis, and chronic inflammatory conditions in dogs and cats

• The product Oriheal Petoxicam is formulated at 1.5 mg/mL strength, as noted by the manufacturer site . Additionally, in an Oriheal Lifesciences product catalog, “Meloxicam Oral Suspension 1.5 mg/mL” is referenced . 

• Your query included “Piroxicam,” which is a different NSAID (not meloxicam) commonly used in veterinary medicine for similar purposes—particularly to manage pain from inflammatory conditions or as part of cancer treatment protocols.

• However, Oriheal Petoxicam contains meloxicam, not piroxicam, so these are distinct medications with different active ingredients despite similar-sounding names
