Incurin 1mg Tablet

Incurin Tablets are an effective treatment for the control of estrogen-responsive urinary incontinence in dogs that have undergone surgical removal of the ovaries and uterus (ovariohysterectomy). This medication has been used effectively worldwide for more than 12 years. Incurin Tablets require a prescription from your veterinarian.

Features:

• Proven effective in reducing or eliminating urinary incontinence
• Convenient, once-a-day dosing
• One simple starting dose for all female dogs, regardless of weight or age
• Can be titrated to the lowest effective dose

For:

Female Dogs

How It Works:

Incurin Tablets contain the active ingredient estriol, a natural estrogen, which increases the resting muscle tone of the urethra in female dogs and can be used in the treatment of urinary incontinence due to estrogen depletion. It is given once a day with a starting dose of two tablets for any female dog, regardless of age or weight. The dose of Incurin Tablets is then titrated down over time to the lowest effective dose.

Generic:

Estriol

Administration:

The dose of Incurin Tablets is not body weight-dependent; all dogs receive an initial dose of 2 tablets orally once per day for a minimum of 14 days. After control of urinary incontinence has been achieved, the lowest effective daily dose should be determined by decreasing the dose in a step-wise manner from 2 tablets, to 1 tablet, then a 1/2 tablet depending on your dog's response. There should be a minimum of 7 days between each dose adjustment. When the lowest dose that controls urinary incontinence is identified, the dose may be decreased further by administering once every two days.

The most common side effects associated with Incurin Tablets treatment under field conditions included loss of appetite, vomiting, excessive water drinking, and swollen vulva.
