Clinical Description:
Melonex Plus Bolus combines meloxicam, an NSAID that reduces prostaglandin-mediated inflammation, pain and fever, with paracetamol, which provides additional analgesic and antipyretic activity. The combination is intended for symptomatic management of pain, inflammation and pyrexia in veterinary patients. 

Indications / Recommended Uses:
It is used for symptomatic management of fever, pain and inflammatory conditions, including pyrexia associated with bacterial or viral infections, ephemeral fever and piroplasmosis, as part of the veterinarian's overall treatment plan. It provides symptomatic relief and does not replace specific antimicrobial or antiparasitic treatment where such treatment is required. 

Dosage & Administration:
The referenced veterinary product information gives 1 bolus per 200 kg body weight, once daily, orally, or as directed by the veterinarian. 

Key Benefits:
Provides combined anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic activity, helping reduce inflammation, relieve pain and control fever. Its oral bolus formulation is convenient for large-animal treatment when prescribed appropriately.

Precautions:
Use only under veterinary supervision. Exercise particular caution in animals with dehydration, gastrointestinal disease/ulceration, kidney or liver impairment. Avoid combining with other NSAIDs or corticosteroids unless specifically prescribed by a veterinarian.

Possible Adverse Effects:
NSAIDs can cause gastrointestinal irritation, reduced appetite, vomiting/diarrhoea and, particularly in dehydrated or susceptible animals, renal complications. Discontinue and obtain veterinary advice if significant adverse reactions occur.

Withdrawal Period:
For milk- and meat-producing animals, follow the withdrawal period printed on the current Indian product label or prescribed by the Registered Veterinary Practitioner. I would not publish an unverified milk/meat withdrawal period on Rayavets.

Storage:
One marketed product listing specifies storage below 30°C. For the Rayavets listing, the storage statement on the current physical Intas pack should take precedence. 

Important Warning:
For veterinary use only. Prescription veterinary medicine. Dose should be determined according to body weight and clinical condition. Do not use as a substitute for diagnosis and specific treatment of the underlying cause of fever or pain.
