How It Works
Phenylpropanolamine Hydrochloride, the active ingredient in Proin, acts as a sympathomimetic agent, meaning it mimics the effects of sympathetic nervous system stimulation. This leads to increased tone in the urethral muscles, aiding in the closure of the urethral sphincter and preventing leakage of urine. As a result, Proin helps your dog regain control over their bladder function, allowing them to lead a more active and fulfilling life.
Indications
Proin, containing Phenylpropanolamine Hydrochloride, is specifically designed to combat urinary incontinence in dogs. This medication works by stimulating the smooth muscles of the urethra, tightening the sphincter muscles responsible for controlling urine flow. By enhancing bladder control, Proin effectively reduces or eliminates incidents of involuntary urination, restoring your dog's freedom and comfort.

Precautions:
PROIN may cause increased thirst; therefore, provide ample fresh water.
Overdose has been associated with dogs chewing through closed bottles of PROIN and consuming multiple tablets. Therefore, it is important to store PROIN Chewable Tablets out of reach of dogs and other pets in a secured location.
Use in dogs with incontinence due to a urinary tract infection will mask symptoms. PROIN is not effective in dogs with incontinence due to neurologic disease or malformations.
PROIN may cause hypertension; therefore, use with caution in dogs with pre-existing heart disease, hypertension, liver disease, kidney insufficiency, diabetes, glaucoma, and conditions with a predilection for hypertension. Use with caution in dogs receiving sympathomimetic drugs, tricyclic antidepressants, or monoamine oxidase inhibitors as increased toxicity may result. Use with caution in dogs administered halogenated gaseous anesthetics as this may increase the risk of cardiac arrhythmias.
A laboratory study on human blood revealed that PPA used in conjunction with aspirin may potentiate decreased platelet aggregation.
The safe use of PROIN in dogs used for breeding purposes, during pregnancy or in lactating bitches, has not been evaluated.
