Clinical Description

MEGLUDYNE is a veterinary non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) containing Flunixin Meglumine. It provides potent anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic activity and is used to control pain, fever and inflammation associated with several infectious and inflammatory conditions. 

Flunixin acts primarily by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis, thereby reducing mediators involved in inflammation, pain and fever. 

Indications / Recommended Uses

MEGLUDYNE Injection is recommended for controlling pyrexia, pain and inflammation associated with:

• Mastitis
• Metritis
• Pneumonia / respiratory disease
• Endotoxemia / septicemia
• Musculoskeletal inflammation and pain
• Bloat-associated inflammatory discomfort
• Equine colic / visceral pain
• Other inflammatory conditions where Flunixin therapy is clinically appropriate. 

Dosage & Administration

Cattle, Sheep & Goats: 1.1–2.2 MG Flunixin/KG body weight, equivalent to 1–2 ML MEGLUDYNE per 45 KG body weight, by slow IV or IM injection.

Camels: 1–2 ML per 45 KG body weight, by slow IV or IM injection.

Horses: 1 ML per 45 KG body weight by slow IV injection, once daily for up to 3–5 days.

Pigs: 1–2 MG Flunixin/KG body weight, by SC or slow IV injection.

Dogs: 1 MG Flunixin/KG body weight, by slow IV or IM injection. 

Treatment duration and route should follow veterinary direction.

Key Benefits

MEGLUDYNE provides fast and potent relief from pain, fever and inflammation without being a corticosteroid or narcotic. It is particularly useful as supportive anti-inflammatory therapy in conditions such as mastitis, metritis, respiratory disease and endotoxemia, as well as musculoskeletal and visceral pain. 

Precautions

Use only under veterinary supervision. As with other NSAIDs, use cautiously in animals that are dehydrated, hypovolemic, or have gastrointestinal, renal or hepatic impairment.

Avoid simultaneous administration with other NSAIDs or corticosteroids unless specifically directed by a veterinarian.

For food-producing animals, follow the current product label for applicable meat and milk withdrawal periods.

Possible Adverse Effects

Flunixin may potentially cause gastrointestinal irritation or ulceration, reduced appetite, renal effects or injection-site reactions, particularly with excessive dosage, prolonged treatment or use in dehydrated animals.

Discontinue treatment and seek veterinary advice if significant adverse reactions occur.

Storage

Store according to the conditions printed on the current product label, protected from excessive heat and direct sunlight. Keep the vial securely closed and maintain appropriate aseptic technique when withdrawing doses.

Important Warning

FOR VETERINARY USE ONLY — PRESCRIPTION MEDICINE.

MEGLUDYNE provides symptomatic control of pain, fever and inflammation; it does not replace appropriate antimicrobial or disease-specific treatment when an underlying infection is present.
