**What is Metacam Oral Suspension?**

Metacam Oral Suspension is the liquid form of meloxicam, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) used to control pain and inflammation in dogs — most often for osteoarthritis and after surgery. Metacam suspension is measured with the supplied syringe and given with food, which makes it easy to adjust the dose precisely to your dog’s weight and ideal for dogs who won’t take tablets. If you’d prefer a tablet form, see our [Metacam Chewable Tablets for Dogs](https://ashcroft4pets.co.uk/dog-medications/metacam-chewable-tablets-dogs-1mg-2-5mg/) page.
