After reviewing reported adverse medication reactions, the us Food as well as medication administration has requested the manufacturers of the nonsteroidal anti inflammatory medication Metacam add a warning to its label stating that repeated utilize of the medication meloxicam (trade name Metacam) has been connected with acute kidney failure as well as death in cats
The FDA has supposedly seen issues with repeated utilize of this medication in cats. While I personally have prescribed this medication safely as well as effectively for many years (mostly short term for pain administration in cats as well as for cats with urinary tract inflammation) I will now believe about the prospective dangers of utilizing this medication off label for prolonged periods of time.
As with any type of medications in this class, a pet should ideally have blood as well as urine testing prior to being prescribed this pet medication. This is particularly important if your pet is on this medication long term, as tracking is necessary for your pet’s long term well-being.
