How Melonex Oral Suspension works
Melonex Pet Oral Suspension contains meloxicam, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that helps relieve pain and inflammation. It works by blocking the action of enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2) that produce substances called prostaglandins, which are responsible for pain, swelling, and fever. Lowering the levels of these substances helps ease discomfort, control inflammation, and improve mobility in dogs with joint pain, injuries, or after surgery.
