Talk:Meloxicam

message: The article states that Metacam comes with a bold typeface warning NOT FOR CATS.  Metacam has now been licenced (here in the UK at least) for cats and contains Meloxicam.
Looking at a bottle here, it's supplied at 0.5mg/ml and is to be applied as a maintenance dose of 0.05mg/kg per day.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.213.110.95 (talk) 22:25, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

message: I'm removing this bit tacked on near the end, "Update: Metacam appears to cause renal problems in otherwise healthy cats! http://www.metacamkills.com/ has testimonials from many cat owners who lost, or nearly lost, their cats after they were prescribed this medication. It is not labeled for use in cats in the US, even though the website for Metacam would have you believe it is safe for felines."
First, it's very clunky. Wikipedia articles aren't notated with "updates," second, it's clearly a biased statement and the source is dubious at best. It seems to me someone threw this on the article just to advance their view. BrainDance (talk) 18:39, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm going to reintroduce the 'toxic to cats' portion with proper peer-reviewed cites, as not only does the manufacturer say specifically "do not use in cats", but there is ample anecdotal evidence of feline fatalities with this drug and others of its class.

I also would like to inform that meloxicam has a OH group in the second ring and not a ketone group (C=O) as drawn. Thanx for your attention.

:The molecular formula (if I count correctly) does not have the additonal "H" required. Likewise the PubChem 5281106 link has the same molecular structure as currently in the article. Whilst DrugBank suggests switch of -OH for =O groups two carbons across. Can someone help clarify which (?or both) is correct here. David Ruben  Talk  23:02, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

What does it mean to have decreased function?

replies: text: I would wholeheartedly agree to a merger of this article with Meloxicam, since as has been stated there is sizeable overlap, simply needs listing as a brand name with base uses in veterinary medicine. Thor Malmjursson (talk) 11:39, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Should anything be said about the proposed substituion of Meloxicam for other NSAIDs in treating hurting/sick farm animals in India?  The articles about Old World Vultures indicate that most other NSAIDs are toxic to vultures, and their veterinary practice has caused a large decrease in the population of various vultures in that area.

message: The 2D structure at top is correct, however the 3D ball and stick image at bottom has an error. At the centre of the figure, two isolated hydrogen (grey) spheres are close together, but should be, one each, bonded to the adjacent nitrogen (blue) and oxygen (red) spheres. I haven't got the presets in my chemical graphics package set up to do a simple swap myself at the moment, just flagging the error.

replies: text: I agree regarding the error (in addition to another error pointed out on the image's page on Commons), so I have simply removed it from the article for now.  It can be replaced or restored when corrected.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 17:21, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
