INDICATIONS
- Musculoskeletal Disorders: Relief of inflammation and pain in conditions like arthritis, myositis, and lameness.
- Visceral Pain (Colic): Provides potent relief for severe abdominal pain, particularly in equines.
- Inflammatory Conditions: Management of acute conditions such as mastitis (udder inflammation) and endotoxemia.
- Fever Reduction: Lowers high body temperatures associated with bacterial infections or respiratory diseases.
ADMINISTRATION
Horses:
- Can be given via intravenous (IV) or intramuscular (IM) injection.
- IV administration is the recommended route for prompt relief from colic pain.
- Must be administered via slow intravenous (IV) injection.
