Urilin is used for the treatment of incontinence in dogs.

It contains phenypropanolamine.

Phenylpropanolamine is a sympathomimetic agent, which acts by direct stimulation of the smooth muscle of the urethral sphincter. It is indicated in the management of urinary incontinence associated with urethral sphincter incompetence in the bitch. The efficacy of phenylpropanolamine has only been demonstrated in ovariohysterectomised bitches. Dosage and administration The recommended dose of phenylpropanolamine is 1 mg/kg bodyweight three times daily. 1 mg/kg bodyweight 3 times daily in the feed, corresponding to 0.1 ml Urilin® Syrup/ 5 kg bodyweight three times daily. One drop (2.34 mg) for every 2.34 kg bodyweight three times daily in feed. Do not shake the bottle, simply invert it over the food and count the required number of drops. Contra-indications, warnings, etc Aggressiveness and restlessness have been noted in some dogs following treatment. Not to be used in pregnant or lactating bitches. It is not appropriate to use the product for the behavioural cause of inappropriate urination. In some dogs, loose stools, liquid diarrhoea, a decrease in appetite, arrhythmia and collapse have been reported following treatment with phenylpropanolamine. Occasional nausea and vomiting have also been reported. As phenylpropanolamine is a sympathomimetic it is possible to produce a wide range of effects most of which mimic the results of excess stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system (e.g. effects on the heart rate and blood pressure). Because phenylpropanolamine is a sympathomimetic drug, it may affect the cardiovascular system, especially blood pressure and heart rate and therefore should be used with caution in animals with cardiovascular diseases. Care should be exercised in treating animals with severe renal or hepatic insufficiency, diabetes mellitus, hyperadrenocorticism, glaucoma or other metabolic disorders. In bitches less than 1 year old the possibility of anatomical disorders contributing to incontinence should be considered prior to treatment.
