    About this item
    DESCRIPTION:

    Selegiline treats cognitive dysfunction and Cushing's Disease, a pituitary gland tumor condition, in dogs. It shouldn't be administered to dogs taking any type of antidepressant.

    Key Benefits:

  • Selegiline increases a nervous system messenger called dopamine.
  • When dopamine levels are increased within the body, an improvement in cognitive function is seen.

    Formulated For: For dogs only.

    How is Medication Given?

  • Typical initial dosage for Cushing's treatment is 0.45 mg for every pound of body weight administered every 24 hours during morning hours.
  • If the pet shows no signs of improvement within 2 months of treatment, dosage can be increased to 0.9 mg for every pound.
  • If no improvement is seen after a month at the higher dosage rate, a veterinarian should re-evaluate the pet's condition and course of treatment.
  • Typical initial dosage for cognitive dysfunction treatment is 0.2 mg to 0.45 mg for every pound of body weight. Noticeable improvement can take as long as a month.
  • Follow your veterinarian's directions when using this product.

    What Results Can I Expect? This medication treats canine Cushing's Disease. It is also useful in treating cognitive, age-related problems in aging dogs. Selegiline is the more affordable, generic alternative to Anipryl.
