Contact your veterinarian immediately if your pet experiences complete loss of appetite, significant weight loss, seizures or collapse, abnormal gait (difficulty walking), extreme behavioral changes (e.g., anxiety, irritability, or aggression), vocalization, or if your pet displays any signs of an extreme increase in blood pressure (including disorientation, decreased coordination, blood in the urine, bloody nose, or sudden blindness).

Precautions: *For complete product information including warnings and precautions, please refer to the manufacturer package insert. For oral use in dogs only- not for human use. Keep out of reach of children. Consult a physician in case of accidental ingestion by humans. PROIN may cause increased thirst; therefore, provide ample fresh water. Overdose has been associated with dogs chewing through closed bottles of PROIN and consuming multiple tablets. Therefore, it is important to store PROIN Chewable Tablets out of reach of dogs and other pets in a secure location. PROIN may mask signs of incontinence due to a urinary tract infection. PROIN is not effective in dogs with incontinence due to neurologic disease or malformations. PROIN may cause hypertension; therefore, use with caution in dogs with preexisting heart disease, hypertension, liver disease, kidney insufficiency, diabetes, glaucoma, and conditions with a predilection for hypertension (e.g., hyperthyroidism). Use with caution in dogs receiving sympathomimetic drugs, tricyclic antidepressants, or monoamine oxidase inhibitors as increased toxicity may result. Because this medication should NOT be used within at least 2 weeks of any monoamine oxidase inhibitor (e.g., selegiline, amitraz), it is NOT compatible with flea and tick collars that contain amitraz as an active ingredient.
If your pet is currently using one of these collars, consult your veterinarian before starting this medication. The safe use of PROIN has not been evaluated in dogs that are intended for breeding, or that are pregnant or lactating. Discuss the risks of using this medication with your veterinarian prior to use if your pet is in one of these groups.

Be sure to inform Vetsource and your veterinarian if your pet has any known drug sensitivities or allergies. If your pet displays symptoms of an allergic reaction, discontinue therapy and call your veterinarian immediately or seek emergency veterinary attention. Symptoms may include (but are not limited to): swollen lips, tongue, face, or airways; difficulty breathing; agitation; profuse salivation; and widespread hives or itching.
