About Product

Caniflam 5 by Canicon (Wellcon Animal Health) is a prescription-grade veterinary NSAID tablet formulated to deliver targeted, clinically proven relief from pain, inflammation, and fever in medium and large breed dogs. Each uncoated oral tablet contains 5 mg of Meloxicam I.P., a preferential COX-2 inhibiting oxicam-class anti-inflammatory with a well-established safety and efficacy profile in canine medicine. Whether your canine companion is managing the daily burden of chronic osteoarthritis, recovering from orthopaedic surgery, or suffering from painful inflammatory skin and ear conditions, Caniflam 5 restores comfort, mobility, and quality of life through precise, once-daily pharmacological action. Animeal is proud to offer Caniflam 5 as part of its curated range of veterinary-grade pain and inflammation solutions, putting trusted relief within reach of every informed and caring pet parent across India.

Ingredients:

Meloxicam I.P. 5 mg per tablet:Meloxicam belongs to the oxicam class of NSAIDs and functions as a preferential inhibitor of Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) over Cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1). At the cellular level, when tissues are injured or diseased, arachidonic acid is released from damaged cell membranes and converted by COX enzymes into prostaglandins key chemical mediators responsible for triggering pain signal amplification, vasodilation, local heat, swelling, and fever. By selectively suppressing COX-2, the inducible isoform that is upregulated predominantly at sites of inflammation, Meloxicam dramatically reduces prostaglandin synthesis in inflamed synovial tissue, periosteum, skin, and soft tissue. This COX-2 preference means Meloxicam also inhibits leukocyte infiltration into inflamed tissue, prevents the enzymatic destruction of cartilage and subchondral bone in arthritic joints, and exerts antipyretic action at the hypothalamic thermoregulatory centre. Because it exerts comparatively less inhibition of COX-1 (the constitutive isoform that maintains gastric mucosal integrity and renal perfusion), Meloxicam carries a more favourable gastrointestinal tolerance profile than non-selective NSAIDs such as aspirin or ibuprofen at therapeutic doses. The 5 mg strength of Caniflam is calibrated for medium to large breed dogs, delivering a therapeutically relevant once-daily dose that sustains plasma concentrations throughout a 24-hour cycle.

Features and Benefits

Clinically Targeted Relief from Osteoarthritis ...

Clinically Targeted Relief from Osteoarthritis and Joint Pain: Caniflam 5 directly targets the prostaglandin cascade at inflamed synovial joints, alleviating the stiffness, swelling, and lameness that rob your canine companion of their joy and mobility. Consistent once-daily dosing has been associated with measurable improvements in joint comfort and activity levels, enabling dogs with chronic arthritis to walk, run, and play with restored ease.

Preferential COX-2 Inhibition for a More Gastro-Friendly Profile: Unlike older, non-selective NSAIDs that broadly suppress both COX-1 and COX-2, Caniflam 5's active compound preferentially targets the inflammatory COX-2 pathway. This pharmacological selectivity reduces the risk of gastric mucosal erosion, making it a more suitable long-term pain management option for dogs requiring sustained anti-inflammatory therapy, when administered under veterinary guidance.

Effective Peri-Operative Pain Control: Caniflam 5 is widely adopted in veterinary clinical practice as part of post-surgical pain management protocols following orthopaedic procedures and soft tissue surgeries. By controlling post-operative prostaglandin-mediated pain and oedema, it supports faster healing, reduces distress, and facilitates a more comfortable recovery for your canine companion during the critical days following surgery.

Broad Anti-Inflammatory Action Across Multiple Tissue Types: Beyond joints, Caniflam 5 alleviates inflammation in the skin, ears, and soft tissues, making it therapeutically relevant for painful dermatological and otological conditions in dogs. It simultaneously addresses the four classical signs of inflammation redness, heat, swelling, and pain at each affected tissue site.

Antipyretic Action for Fever Management: The hypothalamic prostaglandin-mediated thermoregulatory response that drives fever is effectively blunted by Meloxicam at clinically appropriate doses. Caniflam 5 therefore restores normal body temperature in febrile dogs, reducing the secondary discomfort, lethargy, and dehydration risk associated with prolonged fever states.

Convenient Once-Daily Oral Tablet for Medium and Large Breeds: The 5 mg strength is specifically designed for the dosing requirements of medium and large breed dogs, eliminating the need for complex fraction-splitting that smaller strengths may require. Once-daily oral administration simplifies the treatment routine and ensures consistent plasma drug levels throughout the day.

Usage and Applications

How to Use:Caniflam 5 must be administered only...

How to Use:

Caniflam 5 must be administered only under the prescription and supervision of a licensed veterinarian, who will determine the appropriate dose based on your dog's body weight, health status, and the clinical condition being treated. Administer the tablet orally, ideally with food or placed directly onto a small amount of your dog's regular meal, as this significantly reduces the risk of gastrointestinal irritation and encourages voluntary acceptance. Do not crush, split, or alter the tablet unless specifically advised by your veterinarian. Caniflam 5 is intended for once-daily oral administration at approximately 24-hour intervals never administer a double dose if a dose is missed; simply resume the regular schedule at the next scheduled time. The complete prescribed course should be followed as directed. Do not administer concurrently with other NSAIDs, corticosteroids, aminoglycoside antibiotics, or anticoagulant agents, and ensure an appropriate washout period is observed when switching from another NSAID or steroid. Keep this medication out of reach of children and non-target animals at all times. Wash hands after handling.

Storage Advice:

Store unopened Caniflam 5 tablets in a cool, dry place below 25 degrees Celsius, away from direct sunlight and humidity. Do not freeze. Once the blister strip is opened, keep unused tablets in their original blister packaging, pressing the foil seal back securely after each use to protect against moisture exposure. Do not transfer tablets to secondary containers unless in the original labelled packaging. Do not use after the best-before date printed on the blister strip or outer carton.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Caniflam 5 suitable for all dogs?

Caniflam 5 is specifically formulated for medium and large breed dogs, with a 5 mg Meloxicam dose calibrated for animals weighing approximately 20 kg and above. It is not suitable for small breed dogs, puppies under 6 months of age, pregnant or nursing females, or dogs with pre-existing gastrointestinal, renal, hepatic, or cardiac conditions without explicit veterinary assessment and authorisation. Your veterinarian will conduct a thorough clinical evaluation to determine whether Caniflam 5 is the appropriate choice for your canine companion's specific condition and bodyweight.

How often should Caniflam 5 be given, and for how long?

Caniflam 5 is designed for once-daily oral administration at consistent 24-hour intervals, as prescribed by your veterinarian. The duration of treatment depends on the condition being managed: short-term use is typical for post-surgical pain, while long-term administration under regular veterinary monitoring is common for chronic conditions such as osteoarthritis. It is essential never to exceed the prescribed dose or extend the treatment duration beyond what your veterinarian has recommended.

How effective is Caniflam 5 for osteoarthritis and joint pain in dogs?

Meloxicam is one of the most extensively studied and widely used NSAIDs in canine medicine for the management of osteoarthritis. Caniflam 5's 5 mg Meloxicam tablet targets the COX-2-driven prostaglandin cascade that causes joint inflammation, pain, and progressive cartilage degradation. Clinical improvements in mobility, willingness to bear weight, and overall comfort are generally observed within the first few days of therapy, with sustained benefit documented during continued use under veterinary supervision. Your veterinarian will reassess your dog's response to treatment and adjust the plan accordingly.

Are there any side effects or safety concerns I should watch for?

Meloxicam is generally well tolerated in dogs at prescribed doses, but as with all NSAIDs, side effects can occur. The most commonly reported adverse effects include gastrointestinal symptoms such as reduced appetite, vomiting, loose stools, or abdominal discomfort, which can be minimised by administering the tablet with food. More serious but rare adverse events include gastric ulceration, renal impairment, or hepatotoxicity, particularly with prolonged use or in predisposed animals. If your canine companion displays any signs of black or tarry stools, vomiting, increased thirst or urination, jaundice, or unusual lethargy during treatment, discontinue use immediately and contact your veterinarian without delay.
