Loxicom is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) used to control pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis in dogs. Loxicom may also be used for purposes other than those listed here. This oral suspension comes with two sizes of dosing syringes to make administering easy for small and large dogs. Loxicom is available in 10 ml, 32 ml, and 100 ml bottles and requires a prescription from your veterinarian.
Dogs (6 months of age or older)
Loxicom works by reducing hormones that cause pain and inflammation in the body.
Loxicom is for oral use in dogs only. Do not give to dogs that have a hypersensitivity to meloxicam. The safe use of Loxicom in dogs younger than 6 months, dogs used for breeding, or in pregnant or lactating dogs hasn't been evaluated. Do not give to cats.

meloxicam
Loxicom requires a prescription from your veterinarian. It is a 1.5 mg/ml oral suspension that is available in 10 ml, 32 ml, and 100 ml bottles. Loxicom is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), and if your pet has had an adverse reaction to a different NSAID, it's likely they may have the same reaction if given Loxicom. The usual initial dose is 0.09 mg/lb body weight, and the usual maintenance dose is 0.045 mg/lb body weight daily. Do not give to dogs younger than 6 months old, dogs used for breeding, or in pregnant or lactating dogs.
Tell your veterinarian if your pet has had an adverse reaction to NSAIDs previously. Dogs that have experienced adverse reactions from one NSAID may experience adverse reactions from another NSAID. Tell your veterinarian if your pet is pregnant, breeding, or lactating.
Give this medication exactly as directed by your veterinarian. Loxicom should be given orally using the dosing syringes provided in the package. It comes with a small dosing syringe for dogs under 30 lbs and a large dosing syringe for dogs 30 lbs and up. Loxicom can be mixed with food or administered directly into the mouth. The usual initial dose is 0.09 mg/lb body weight, and the usual maintenance dose is 0.045 mg/lb body weight daily.
The most common side effects of Loxicom include vomiting, diarrhea, and lack of appetite. Other less common side effects can include bloody stool, bleeding gums after dental procedure, lethargy, swollen knee, and excessive watering of the eye.
Give the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is close to the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume a regular schedule.
Contact your veterinarian if an overdose is suspected.
Avoid giving to pets with a hypsersensitivity to meloxicam. Do not give to dogs younger than 6 months old, dogs used for breeding, or in pregnant or lactating dogs.
It is not recommended to use Loxicom with other anti-inflammatory drugs, such as NSAIDs or corticosteroids. The safe use of cardiac, anticonvulsant, and behavioral medications hasn't been studied. Tell your veterinarian if your pet is taking any other medications or supplements.
Store at room temperature. Keep out of the reach of children.
To prevent accidental overdosing of small dogs, do not use the large syringe in animals weighing less than 30 lbs.
