Product Uses

Proin tablets are a supplemental product to treat urinary incontinence in dogs. Largely, the dogs which suffer from this problem are desexed females. Phenylpropanolamine works on the nervous system, by tightening the internal bladder sphincter muscle to prevent accidental leakage of urine.

Product Contains

Phenylpropanolamine HCl

Dosage and Administration

Dose 1-2 mg/kg (0.4-0.8 mg/lb) by mouth every 12 hours or as instructed by your veterinarian. The tablets are liver flavored and most dogs will accept them as a treat. Give tablets late in the evening to avoid accidents, which are more likely to occur when the dog relaxes to sleep at night. It may take several doses before the full effect of the drug is seen.

Phenylpropanolamine should not be given to dogs with glaucoma, an enlarged prostate gland, overactive thyroid gland, diabetes mellitus, heart disorders or high blood pressure.
