FAQs - Anipryl (selegiline) for Dogs

What is Anipryl (Selegiline HCl) used for?

Anipryl is used to treat Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome (CDS) and Pituitary-Dependent Cushing’s Disease (PDH) in dogs. It helps improve cognitive function in aging pets and regulates hormonal imbalances caused by PDH by increasing dopamine levels in the brain.

How does Anipryl improve cognitive function in dogs?

Anipryl boosts dopamine levels, which decline as dogs age. Dopamine is crucial for memory, learning, and emotional regulation. By inhibiting monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B), Anipryl slows cognitive decline associated with aging.

Can Anipryl be given to dogs with other health conditions?

Dogs with systemic diseases or conditions other than PDH should use Anipryl cautiously, as its safety for such cases has not been established. Always consult a veterinarian for proper evaluation and recommendations.

Does Anipryl require regular monitoring during treatment?

Yes, regular veterinary checkups are essential. Monitoring includes evaluating cognitive improvement, checking for side effects, and adjusting dosage if necessary to ensure your dog’s optimal health during treatment.

Can Anipryl help with general behavioral issues in dogs?

No, Anipryl is specifically indicated for CDS and PDH. It is not effective for general behavioral issues such as aggression, separation anxiety, or hyperactivity. Consult a veterinarian for alternative treatments for such conditions.

Are there dietary supplements that enhance Anipryl’s effectiveness?

While no specific supplements are required, diets enriched with omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants can support brain health and complement Anipryl’s benefits. Always discuss dietary changes with your vet.

How do I know if my dog has Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome (CDS)?

Signs of CDS include disorientation, changes in sleep-wake cycles, reduced social interaction, and house soiling. If you notice these symptoms, consult your veterinarian for a proper diagnosis and treatment options like Anipryl.

Can Anipryl be stopped abruptly if my dog improves?

Abruptly stopping Anipryl may lead to a return of symptoms. Any discontinuation or dosage adjustments should be done under veterinary supervision to avoid adverse effects or recurrence of symptoms.

Is Anipryl safe for long-term use in dogs?

Yes, Anipryl is generally considered safe for long-term use when prescribed by a veterinarian. Regular health evaluations ensure it continues to benefit your pet without causing harmful side effects.

Can Anipryl be used for cats or other animals?

Anipryl is specifically approved for use in dogs. Its safety and efficacy for cats or other animals have not been established. Consult your veterinarian for species-specific medications.
