Common questions
- Why is weekly dosing better than daily?
- It is not necessarily better clinically - it is more convenient. If a dog tolerates daily NSAIDs well, daily generics like meloxicam are typically cheaper.
- Can I buy Daxocox without a prescription?
- No - it is POM-V. Your vet must issue a written prescription, capped at £21 (or £12.50 if it is the second medicine on the same prescription).
