Phenylpropanolamine Hydrochloride (Generic) Chewable Tablets for Dogs

Urinary Incontinence Control Chewable Tablets for Dogs

Product Description

Phenylpropanolamine Hydrochloride (Generic) Chewable Tablets are a prescription medication used in dogs to manage urinary incontinence caused by a weakened urethral sphincter. The active ingredient works as an alpha-adrenergic agent that increases muscle tone in the urethra, helping to prevent involuntary urine leakage. This is the first FDA-approved generic equivalent to Proin, offering dogs the same clinically proven urinary control support.

Benefits

• Bladder Control Support: Helps control urinary incontinence in dogs by tightening the urethral sphincter muscle to reduce urine leaking.
• FDA-Approved Generic: This is the first FDA-approved generic to Proin, matched to the original in both active ingredient and dosage form.
• Spayed and Senior Dogs: Most commonly prescribed for spayed females and older dogs where urethral weakness stems from hormonal changes or age-related muscle decline.
• Multiple Strengths Available: Three strength options, 25 mg, 50 mg, and 75 mg, are available in 60 and 180 count bottles to allow accurate weight-based dosing.
• Scored for Flexible Dosing: Each tablet is scored down the middle, so it can be split cleanly into half doses when finer dosing adjustments are needed.
