💊 What Proin and Propalin are
Both Proin® and Propalin® are brand names for phenylpropanolamine (PPA).
They are sympathomimetic drugs that work by:
-
Stimulating alpha-adrenergic receptors
-
Increasing tone of the urethral sphincter
-
Helping keep the bladder outlet tightly closed
They are not hormones and not sedatives.
✅ Key differences between Proin and Propalin
Proin
-
Usually used in North America
-
Comes as flavored chewable tablets or extended-release tablets (Proin ER)
Propalin
-
More common in Europe and other countries
-
Comes mainly as an oral liquid (syrup)
Despite the different brand names and forms, the active drug is the same.
🐶 Main veterinary use
Dogs
PPA is mainly prescribed to treat:
Urethral sphincter mechanism incompetence (USMI)
This is the classic spay incontinence seen in:
-
Spayed female dogs
-
Especially medium to large breeds
-
Usually middle-aged or older
Typical signs:
-
Urine leaking during sleep
-
Wet bedding
-
Dribbling without awareness
PPA helps strengthen the sphincter and prevent leakage.
🐱 Use in cats
-
Used much less commonly in cats
-
Occasionally used off-label for true urinary incontinence
-
Cats are more sensitive to stimulant side effects
🧪 Typical dosing (educational ranges only)
General veterinary reference ranges — NOT a prescription.
Dogs
Immediate-release PPA:
-
About 1–2 mg per lb (2–4 mg/kg) per day
-
Divided into 2–3 doses
Extended-release (Proin ER):
-
Often once daily dosing
Liquid Propalin:
-
Dosed by ml/kg according to the specific formulation strength
Actual dose is tailored by the vet.
⏱️ How fast it works
-
Can start improving urine control within hours to days
-
Full effect often seen within several days
⚠️ Common side effects
More common
-
Restlessness
-
Panting
-
Nervousness / anxiety
-
Loss of appetite
-
Mild increase in heart rate
Less common but serious
-
High blood pressure
-
Heart rhythm problems
-
Tremors
-
Aggression or marked behavior changes
🚨 Use with caution or avoid if your pet has
-
Heart disease or murmurs
-
High blood pressure
-
Hyperthyroidism (especially in cats)
-

Prostate disease (in intact male dogs)
Drug interactions
Be cautious combining PPA with:
-
Tricyclic antidepressants
-
MAO inhibitors
-
Other stimulants
-
Decongestants
Proin / Propalin vs hormone therapy
PPA drugs:
✅ Non-hormonal
✅ Often first-line for spay incontinence
Hormonal options like estriol (Incurin®):
✅ Work well in many spayed females
⚠️ Can have hormonal side effects
Some dogs need both together for best results.
🧭 Monitoring while on PPA
Vets often recommend:
-
Blood pressure checks
-
Monitoring heart rate and behavior
-
Periodic rechecks, especially in older dogs
Bottom line
Proin (US) and Propalin (EU and elsewhere) are essentially the same medication — phenylpropanolamine — and are highly effective for canine urinary incontinence caused by weak urethral sphincter tone, especially in spayed female dogs.
They are fast-acting and very helpful when properly dosed and monitored.
