Reconcile Chewable Tablets for Dogs 16mg (Fluoxetine) Pack of 30

Effective Support for Canine Separation Anxiety

Reconcile Chewable Tablets for Dogs 16mg (Fluoxetine) Pack of 30 is a veterinary prescription-only medicine specifically formulated to help manage canine behavioural problems, particularly those stemming from separation anxiety. When dogs are left alone, they can experience significant distress, often manifesting as destructive behaviour, excessive barking or vocalisation, and inappropriate house soiling. Reconcile aims to reduce these signs, helping your dog feel calmer, more secure, and better able to cope when you're away.

How Fluoxetine Works to Calm Your Dog

The active ingredient in Reconcile Chewable Tablets for Dogs 16mg is fluoxetine hydrochloride, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). Fluoxetine works by increasing the levels of serotonin in your dog's brain. Serotonin is a natural chemical neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in regulating mood, emotions, and behaviour. By balancing these levels, Reconcile helps to alleviate anxiety and enhances your dog's receptiveness to the behaviour modification techniques your veterinary professional recommends. It is vital that Reconcile 16mg Tablets are always used as part of an overall treatment plan supervised by a veterinary professional.

Important Safety Information for Reconcile Chewable Tablets for Dogs 16mg (Fluoxetine) Pack of 30:

• Not for Human Use: Keep out of reach of children. In case of accidental ingestion by a human, seek medical attention immediately. Overdosage symptoms in humans may include seizures, somnolence, nausea, tachycardia, and vomiting.
• Contraindications: Do not use in dogs with epilepsy or a history of seizures.
• Drug Interactions: Do not give concomitantly with drugs that lower the seizure threshold (e.g., phenothiazines like acepromazine or chlorpromazine), or with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) like selegiline hydrochloride or amitraz. A minimum 14-day washout period is required after discontinuing MAOI therapy.
• Hypersensitivity: Contraindicated in dogs with known hypersensitivity to fluoxetine HCl or other SSRIs.
• Washout Period: A 6-week washout interval should be observed after discontinuing Reconcile before administering any drug that may interact adversely with fluoxetine or norfluoxetine.
• Aggression: Not recommended for the treatment of aggression.
• Other Behavioural Disorders: Not clinically tested for the treatment of behavioural disorders other than separation anxiety.
• Specific Populations: Effects have not been studied in breeding, pregnant, or lactating dogs, or in puppies less than 6 months of age.
• Potential for Seizures: Seizures may occur even in dogs without a history of epilepsy.
• Pre-treatment Examination: A comprehensive physical examination and thorough history should be conducted to rule out other causes of inappropriate behaviour and to assess the patient's overall health before prescribing. Inappropriate use (without diagnosis or behaviour modification) may lead to unnecessary adverse reactions.
• Drug Metabolism: Use with caution when co-administered with any drug that affects the cytochrome P450 enzyme system (e.g., ketaconazole).
