Plasma Concentration of Meloxicam in Pediatric Rats.

In this study, we compared the plasma concentrations of meloxicam in pediatric rat pups (ages: 7, 14, 21, and 28 d) with those of young adult rats. Adult rats received 1.34 mg/kg SC meloxicam to determine the target peak plasma concentration (Cmax) for comparison with the pediatric animals.
