Incurin Tablet 1mg - Priced per Tablet
Incurin is a prescription medication used to manage hormone-dependent urinary incontinence in female dogs. It contains estriol, a natural form of oestrogen, which helps restore control over bladder function. This medication is specifically designed for spayed female dogs experiencing involuntary urine leakage due to decreased oestrogen levels.
What is Hormone-Dependent Urinary Incontinence?
Hormone-dependent urinary incontinence is a common condition in spayed female dogs, typically occurring as they age. It results from a decline in oestrogen production following spaying. Oestrogen plays a crucial role in maintaining muscle tone in the urethral sphincter, which is responsible for preventing urine leakage.
When oestrogen levels drop, the muscles controlling urine retention weaken, leading to involuntary leakage. This condition is also known as urethral sphincter mechanism incompetence (USMI). It can cause noticeable symptoms such as small puddles of urine left behind where the dog has been lying down or sleeping. Leakage can be infrequent or more consistent, depending on the severity of the condition.
Although the condition is not painful, it can be distressing for both the dog and the owner. Affected dogs may not realise they are leaking urine, and owners may notice damp bedding or an ammonia-like odour. Without treatment, the condition can lead to skin irritation, infections, and hygiene concerns.
100ml Propalin Syrup Bottle
Propalin 100ml is a veterinary medication used to manage urinary incontinence in dogs caused by urethral sphincter incompetence. It contains phenylpropanolamine, a compound that strengthens the muscles controlling the bladder, reducing involuntary urine leakage. Propalin is commonly prescribed for spayed female dogs, as they are more prone to this condition due to hormonal changes affecting sphincter function.
Urinary incontinence is a condition where a dog is unable to control urination, often resulting in leakage during rest or sleep. It is commonly seen in middle-aged and older dogs but can occur in younger animals as well. Propalin helps restore bladder control, improving the dog's comfort and hygiene while reducing the need for frequent cleaning of bedding and living areas.
How Propalin Works
Propalin contains phenylpropanolamine hydrochloride, a sympathomimetic agent that stimulates alpha-adrenergic receptors. These receptors play a crucial role in maintaining urethral sphincter tone, which is necessary for preventing urine leakage. By increasing the contraction strength of the urethral sphincter, Propalin helps dogs regain better bladder control.
The active ingredient in Propalin works by enhancing the tone of the smooth muscle surrounding the urethra. This prevents involuntary leakage by keeping the bladder outlet closed when the dog is at rest. Unlike hormone-based treatments, Propalin directly targets the muscular function of the urethral sphincter without affecting the dog’s overall hormone levels.
The medication is typically administered as an oral syrup, allowing for easy dosage adjustments based on the dog's weight and severity of symptoms. It is usually given two to three times daily, as recommended by a veterinarian. Regular use can significantly reduce urine leakage and improve a dog's ability to maintain normal bladder function.
