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. Keep PROIN ER in a secure location out of the reach of dogs, cats and other animals to prevent accidental ingestion or overdose. PROIN ER may cause increased thirst; therefore, provide ample fresh water. Do not split or crush tablets. Instances of dogs chewing through closed vials of PROIN and eating the vial contents have been reported, in some cases resulting in overdose. Keep the product in a secure storage area out of the reach of pets to prevent accidental ingestion or overdose, as dogs may willingly consume more than the recommended dosage of PROIN ER tablets. Contact your veterinarian immediately if your dog ingests more tablets than prescribed or if other pets ingest PROIN ER. Proin ER may mask signs of incontinence due to urinary tract infection. PROIN ER is not effective in dogs with incontinence due to neurologic disease or malformations. PROIN ER 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 ER has notbeen 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.

If your pet displays symptoms of an allergic reaction, discontinue therapy and call your veterinarian immediately or seek emergency veterinary attention.
