Product Description
Incurin uses short-acting estrogen to treats spayed female dogs with urinary incontinence. An alternative to phenylpropanolamine medications like Proin, this safe once-daily tablet reduces and often eliminates the leakage and accidents resulting from urinary incontinence.
What is Incurin (Estriol) 1 mg, 30 Tablets?
Incurin treats urinary incontinence in spayed female dogs with short acting estrogen that counteracts the loss suffered by dogs with urinary issues. This significantly reduces and most times eliminates the leakage and accidents resulting from urinary incontinence. The goal is to give the minimum dose that controls your dog’s symptoms. If the initial dose is working after this time period, try to reduce the dose to ½ tablet per day, then ½ tablet on alternate days.

Overview
The dose of INCURIN® Tablets is not dependent upon body weight. All dogs should receive an initial dose of 2 mg INCURIN® Tablets (2 tablets) orally once per day for a minimum of 14 days. After urinary incontinence is controlled, the lowest effective daily dose of INCURIN® Tablets should be determined by decreasing the dose in a step-wise manner from 2 mg once daily (2 tablets) to 1 mg once daily (1 tablet), then 0.5 mg once daily (1/2 tablet) depending upon the response of the individual dog. There should be a minimum of 7 days between each dose adjustment. After the lowest daily dose that controls urinary incontinence is identified, the dose may be decreased further by administering once every two days. Dogs should not receive more than 2 mg INCURIN® Tablets per day (2 tablets). If the dog does not respond to 2 mg of INCURIN™ Tablets per day, the diagnosis should be re-assessed.
