Reconcile Chewable Tablets for Dogs 32mg (Fluoxetine) Pack of 30

Understanding and addressing separation anxiety in dogs can significantly improve their quality of life and your bond with them. Separation anxiety is a common condition where dogs exhibit extreme distress when separated from their owners or attachment figures. This can manifest as barking, howling, destructive chewing, or house-soiling, often causing distress for both the pet and the owner.

How Reconcile Helps with Canine Separation Anxiety

Reconcile Chewable Tablets for Dogs 32mg (Fluoxetine) Pack of 30 works by modulating serotonin levels in the brain, helping to reduce anxiety and fear. As a Selective Serotonin Re-Uptake Inhibitor (SSRI), fluoxetine helps your dog feel calmer and more receptive to behavioural training. It's important to remember that Reconcile is an aid and should always be used alongside a tailored behavioural modification plan from your vet.

Dosage and Administration

Reconcile Chewable Tablets for Dogs 32mg (Fluoxetine) Pack of 30 should be administered orally once daily at a dose of 1 to 2 mg/kg bodyweight. The tablets are flavoured and most dogs will consume the tablet when offered by the owner, with or without food.

Clinical improvement is expected within 1 to 2 weeks. If no improvement is observed within 4 weeks, your veterinary surgeon should re-evaluate the treatment plan. Clinical studies have demonstrated a beneficial response for up to 8 weeks of treatment with fluoxetine. If a dose is missed, administer the next scheduled dose as prescribed. It is not necessary to taper or reduce doses at the end of treatment due to the long half-life of this veterinary medicinal product.

Important Warnings and Precautions

• Prescription Only: This veterinary medicinal product is subject to prescription.
• Target Species: For dogs only.
• Bodyweight and Age Restrictions: Do not use in dogs weighing less than 4 kg or dogs less than 6 months of age, as safety has not been established.

• Hypersensitivity: Do not use in cases of hypersensitivity to fluoxetine, other Selective Serotonin Re-Uptake Inhibitors (SSRIs), or any of the excipients.
• Pregnancy and Lactation: The safety has not been established during pregnancy and lactation; use is not recommended during these periods or in breeding animals.

A 6-week washout period should be observed after discontinuing Reconcile before administering interacting veterinary medicinal products. Use with caution with other veterinary medicinal products as fluoxetine is metabolised by the P-450 enzyme system.

Inform your veterinary surgeon if you notice any side effects.
