Clomicalm 80 mg 30 tablets | for separation anxiety in dogs

Clomicalm 80 mg contains 30 tablets of 80 mg clomipramine, for oral administration, for dogs weighing 20 to 80 kg with separation anxiety. It is only to be used in conjunction with behavior modification techniques.

What is it for

Separation anxiety occurs when a dog is left alone and manifests as destructive behavior or inappropriate urination and defecation. Clomipramine is a tricyclic antidepressant that increases the availability of serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain.

How it is used

The dosage is 1 to 2 mg of clomipramine per kg, twice a day, orally, with or without food. A 40 kg dog needs between 40 and 80 mg per dose, which is obtained with one tablet of this strength. Keep a record of the doses and any changes in behavior to discuss during follow-up appointments.

For what animals

Dogs weighing 20 to 80 kg. Efficacy and safety have not been established in dogs under 6 months of age or weighing less than 1,25 kg.

Composition and presentation

• Box of 30 oral tablets of clomipramine, 80 mg each.

Precautions

Close monitoring is required in dogs with cardiovascular problems or epilepsy, and caution is advised in cases of narrow-angle glaucoma, reduced intestinal motility, or urinary retention, due to its anticholinergic effects. Consult your veterinarian if you notice any changes in behavior after starting treatment.

FAQ

What dosage does a dog need based on its weight?

Between 1 and 2 mg per kg in each feeding. With that guideline, a 40 kg dog receives 40 to 80 mg per feeding.

How many times a day is it given?

Twice a day, with or without food. Try to keep to the same feeding times.

Does it work without training?

No. The manufacturer indicates it should only be used in combination with behavior modification techniques, which are the basis of the treatment. The tablet alone will not correct the dog's habits of being left alone.

What advantage does it have over smaller concentrations?

Avoid accumulating small tablets in large dogs: a single unit covers the intake of a 40 kg dog.

Is there an age or weight limit?

Its efficacy and safety have not been established in dogs under 6 months of age or weighing less than 1,25 kg. Furthermore, this 80 mg concentration is intended for dogs weighing between 20 and 80 kg.
