Description
Incurin for Dogs
Incurin may only be supplied with a valid veterinary prescription issued by your vet. You should only purchase Incurin if you have or are in the process of arranging such a prescription. See information bar for further details.
Incurin is used for the treatment of hormone-dependent urinary incontinence due to sphincter mechanism incompetence in ovariohysterectomised (spayed) bitches.
Incurin are scored tablets for oral administration. Each Incurin tablet contains 1mg Estriol PhEur.
Sphincter mechanism incompetence is a failure of the urethral sphincter to tightly close, which allows urine to leak and causes urinary incontinence. Treatment of hormone dependent urinary incontinence with Incurin increases the oestrogen levels, which supports the normal mechanisms that strengthen urethral sphincter tone, ensuring a tight seal that prevents urinary incontinence.
Incurin Dosage and Administration
For oral administration. A relationship between final effective dose and body weight has not been established and therefore the dose has to be determined for each dog on an individual basis. The following dosing schedule is advised: start treatment with 1 tablet (1 mg estriol) every day. If treatment is successful lower the dose to half a tablet a day. If initial treatment is not successful increase the dose to 2 tablets a day to be given in one dose.
Some dogs do not need daily treatment with Incurin; treatment every other day may be tried once the effective daily dose has been established. The minimum dose given should not be less than 0.5 mg per dog per day. Ensure the dose used to achieve the therapeutic effect is as low as possible. Do not use more than 2 Incurin tablets per dog per day. If no response to treatment is obtained the diagnosis should be reconsidered in order to investigate other causes for the incontinence such as neurological disorders bladder neoplasia etc. Animals should be re-examined every 6 months during treatment.
