PRESCRIPTION NEEDED (Pom-V)

What Propalin Syrup Is

Propalin Syrup 40 mg/ml for Dogs is a prescription-only veterinary medicine (POM-V) indicated for the treatment of urinary incontinence caused by urethral sphincter mechanism incompetence (USMI) in dogs, particularly spayed female dogs.

When Vets Prescribe Propalin

Veterinarians prescribe Propalin for dogs who:

• Develop involuntary urine leakage while resting or sleeping, often long after being spayed.

• Show no behavioural cause for incontinence but have confirmed USMI on veterinary examination.

• Require long-term control of urinary incontinence under veterinary supervision.

How Propalin Works

Propalin contains phenylpropanolamine hydrochloride (or similar sympathomimetic agent) which increases urethral closure pressure by stimulating alpha-adrenergic receptors in the urethra, thereby reducing passive leakage of urine.

Dosage & Administration

Administer exactly as directed by your veterinary surgeon. A typical starting dose is 0.1 ml per 5 kg bodyweight of the 40 mg/ml solution, given three times daily with food.
Treatment schedules may later shift to two times daily or once daily depending on response and vet advice.

Precautions and Warnings

Do not use Propalin in dogs with:

• Known hypersensitivity to the active substance or excipient.

• Behavioural incontinence or incontinence due to non-urethral causes.

• Untreated hyperthyroidism, heart disease, hypertension or glaucoma — vet evaluation required.
  Side effects may include increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, anxiety, trembling, or reduced appetite. Monitor the dog’s cardiovascular status during treatment.

Storage and Shelf Life

Store in the original bottle below 25 °C, protected from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children and other animals. Use within expiry date.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How quickly will Propalin reduce leaking?
Many dogs show improvement within a few days of consistent use but full effect may take several weeks under veterinary oversight.
Is Propalin suitable for males or non-spayed females?
The product licence is for dogs with urethral sphincter mechanism incompetence, typically spayed females. Use in other cases is “off-label” and must be discussed with your vet.
Can I stop treatment when the dog appears dry?
No. Incontinence may recur if treatment stops; the decision must be guided by your vet.
Do I need a prescription to buy it?
Yes. Propalin is classified POM-V and must only be supplied with a valid veterinary prescription.
What if leaking continues despite treatment?
Inform your veterinarian. They may adjust dosing, check for underlying disease or consider alternative therapies or surgery.
