Clomicalm 80mg Tablets 30’s

Description

Separation Anxiety in dogs is not an expression of anger, it is a distress response characterized by:

• Destruction
• Soiling
• Vocalization
• Owner-seeking

Separation Anxiety is a treatable condition:
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter in the brain which is associated with positive emotions. After serotonin is released by a neuron, an uptake receptor collects it from the synapse and recycles it.

Clomipramine hydrochloride, the active ingredient in Clomicalm, binds to the serotonin uptake receptor and prevents it from removing excess serotonin. This increases the positive emotional neural signal in the brain.
CLOMICALM tablets:

• Along with behavior modification, may help alleviate inappropriate barking and elimination (urination or defecation), as well as destructive behavior
• Although they may cause lethargy in some dogs, their mode of action is not as a sedative
• Have been trusted for more than 17 years

Indications
CLOMICALM Tablets are to be used as part of a comprehensive behavioral management program to treat separation anxiety in dogs greater than 6 months of age. Inappropriate barking or destructive behavior, as well as inappropriate elimination (urination or defecation) may be alleviated by the use of CLOMICALM Tablets in conjunction with behavior modification.

People with known hypersensitivity to clomipramine should administer the product with caution. Not recommended for behavior problems such as aggression. Other causes of inappropriate behavior unrelated to separation anxiety should be ruled out before prescribing.
