    How is Medication Given? Use as directed by your Veterinarian. Dosage and Administration: Always provide client information sheet with prescription. Carefully consider the potential benefits and risk of OstiLox Oral Suspension and other treatment options before deciding to use OstiLox Oral Suspension. Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration consistent with individual response. OstiLox Oral Suspension should be administered initially at 0.09 mg/lb (0.2 mg/kg) body weight only on the first day of treatment. For all treatments after day 1, OstiLox Oral Suspension should be administered once daily at a dose of 0.045 mg/lb (0.1 mg/kg). The syringes are calibrated to deliver the daily maintenance dose in lbs. Because the first dose (0.2 mg/kg) is two times the amount of the daily maintenance dose (0.1 mg/kg), two syringes containing the 0.1 mg/kg dose should be administered at the first dose. Directions for Administration: OstiLox Oral Suspension is packaged with 2 sizes of dosing syringes.

    What Results Can I Expect? Ostilox reduces inflammation- and pain-causing hormones in your pet's body.
