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.

Pardale-V is a prescription medication used to relieve mild to moderate pain in dogs. It contains two active ingredients, paracetamol and codeine, which work together to provide effective pain management. This medication is commonly used to treat musculoskeletal pain, joint discomfort, and post-operative pain.

Pardale-V is formulated as an oral tablet, making it easy to administer. It is only available with a veterinary prescription and should always be used under veterinary supervision.

How Pardale-V Works

Pardale-V combines two pain-relieving compounds:

• Paracetamol – A widely used analgesic and antipyretic that reduces pain and fever. It works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, chemicals in the body responsible for pain and inflammation. By blocking these chemicals, paracetamol helps reduce pain perception.

• Codeine – An opioid analgesic that provides additional pain relief by acting on the central nervous system. Codeine binds to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, altering the way pain signals are processed and reducing the sensation of pain.

The combination of these two active ingredients makes Pardale-V effective in managing pain while minimising inflammation and discomfort.

Optimmune Eye Ointment for Dogs

Optimmune Eye Ointment is a veterinary medication specifically designed to treat chronic eye conditions in dogs, particularly dry eye, also known as keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS), and chronic conjunctivitis. These conditions can cause severe discomfort and, if left untreated, may lead to more serious complications, including damage to the eye's surface and even vision loss. Optimmune offers a reliable and effective treatment, helping to manage the symptoms and improve your dog's quality of life.

How Optimmune Works

Optimmune contains cyclosporine, an immunosuppressive agent. Cyclosporine works by reducing the inflammatory response in the eyes, which is often triggered by the immune system attacking the tear-producing glands. This action helps to stimulate tear production, alleviating the dryness and irritation associated with keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) and chronic conjunctivitis. By enhancing tear production and controlling inflammation, Optimmune prevents further damage to the eyes and maintains the health of the cornea and surrounding tissues.

The ointment is typically applied directly to the affected eye or eyes once or twice a day, as prescribed by your vet. The medication works at a cellular level, suppressing the activity of T-lymphocytes, a type of immune cell involved in the inflammatory process. By modulating the immune response, Optimmune not only soothes the symptoms of dry eye and conjunctivitis but also addresses the underlying cause of these conditions, providing long-term relief.
