Flunixin meglumine is used to relieve pain and inflammation in horses and cattle and for its antipyretic properties. Vetameg injectable is a part of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory class of drugs (NSAIDs). Flunixin persists in inflammatory tissues and is associated with anti-inflammatory properties which extend well beyond the period associated with detectable plasma drug concentration.
