FAQ

Can it be used at home like the oral version?

No. The injectable route requires knowledge and aseptic conditions. Its use is reserved for the veterinary clinical setting.

How many doses are in the 50 ml vial?

It depends on the patient's weight and the concentration used. For clinics with a high volume of surgeries, the 40 mg/ml – 50 ml format is the most cost-effective and reduces the frequency of reorders.

Can it be combined with other painkillers?

In standard anesthetic protocols, it is combined with opioids under supervision. Do not combine with other NSAIDs or corticosteroids.
