Propalin Syrup is used for the treatment of urinary incontinence associated with urethral sphincter incompetence in the bitch.
Urinary incontinence is an involuntary loss of urine that can occur in the dog at any age and in either sex. It is particularly common in the elderly bitch. You may have been finding patches of urine where your dog has been lying, or in other places around the house. This ‘leaking’ is not under conscious control and requires treatment, not punishment.
Propalin contains phenylpropanolamine which stimulates the nerves that control the urethra and cause it to hold closed more firmly, therefore preventing the leaking of urine. Propalin is only effective in neutered bitches and is not useful in cases of inappropriate urination with underlying behavioural causes. Treatment with Propalin is usually lifelong.

Propalin Syrup is used for the treatment of urinary incontinence associated with urethral sphincter incompetence in the bitch.
Urinary incontinence is an involuntary loss of urine that can occur in the dog at any age and in either sex. It is particularly common in the elderly bitch. You may have been finding patches of urine where your dog has been lying, or in other places around the house. This ‘leaking’ is not under conscious control and requires treatment, not punishment.
Propalin contains phenylpropanolamine which stimulates the nerves that control the urethra and cause it to hold closed more firmly, therefore preventing the leaking of urine. Propalin is only effective in neutered bitches and is not useful in cases of inappropriate urination with underlying behavioural causes. Treatment with Propalin is usually lifelong.
There are many factors which may contribute to urinary incontinence, including anatomy, being spayed, breed, age, size or weight. Urine is contained within the bladder and is prevented from leaking out by the urethral sphincter, which largely consists of muscle. The activity of the muscle is regulated by nerves which have both conscious and unconscious control. The sphincter normally remains closed until the animal consciously decides to urinate. However, if the sphincter is lax, as occurs in incontinence, urine will leak out. Although your dog will still be able to urinate at will, there may be a leakage of urine over which she has no control. This may, understandably, distress both you and your pet, as well as smelling unpleasant and possibly leading to further problems, such as scalding or infection around the rear end.
Propalin Syrup contains phenylpropanolamine hydrochloride. Phenylpropanolamine acts to increase the tone in muscles that make up the urethral sphincter. It does this by mimicking the action of the nerves which are responsible for the tone of the muscles. The increase in tone results in a tightening of the urethra so preventing leakage of urine.
Propalin Syrup is available in the following sizes:
A Veterinary Pet Prescription is Required for Propalin
30ml Propalin Syrup is used for the treatment of urinary incontinence associated with urethral sphincter incompetence in the bitch. The condition is particularly prevalent during the first three months of pregnancy and during whelping. Propalin is also used in cases of spay incontinence.
VET PRESCRIPTION REQUIRED
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.
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.
