Dosage and Administration

Always provide Client Information Sheet with prescription. Carefully consider the potential benefits and risk of MOVODYL Chewable Tablets and other treatment options before deciding to use MOVODYL Chewable Tablets. Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration consistent with individual response. The recommended dosage for oral administration to dogs is 2 mg/lb of body weight daily. The total daily dose may be administered as 2 mg/lb of body weight once daily or divided and administered as 1 mg/lb twice daily. For the control of postoperative pain, administer approximately 2 hours before the procedure. MOVODYL Chewable Tablets are scored and dosage should be calculated in half-tablet increments. Tablets can be halved by placing the tablet on a hard surface and pressing down on both sides of the score. MOVODYL Chewable Tablets may be fed by hand or placed in food. Care should be taken to ensure that the dog consumes the complete dose. Half-tablets should be used within 90 days.
