Indications

For the reduction of acute and chronic mild soft tissue and musculoskeletal pain.

Dose to be administered and administration route

For oral use.

The recommended dose is 2-4 mg tramadol hydrochloride per kg body weight every 8 hours or as needed based on the intensity of pain.

Minimum dosing interval is 6 hours. The recommended maximum daily dose is 16 mg/kg. As the individual response to tramadol is variable and depends partly on the dosage, the age of the patient, individual differences in pain sensitivity and general condition, the optimal dosing regimen should be individually tailored using the above dose and re-treatment interval ranges. The dog should be examined regularly by a veterinarian to assess if additional analgesia is subsequently required. Additional analgesia can be administered by increasing the tramadol dose until the maximum daily dose is reached, and/or by following a multimodal analgesic approach with the addition of other suitable analgesics.

The most appropriate tablet strengths should be used in order to minimise divided tablets to be kept until the next dosing.

Please note that this dosing table is intended as a guide for dispensing the veterinary medicinal product at the high end of the dose range: 4 mg/kg bodyweight. It states the number of tablets required to administer 4 mg tramadol hydrochloride per kg bodyweight.
