Diabetes is the most common endocrine disease in cats and dogs. The FDA approved a single injection insulin protocol for dogs, which can provide reliable control of clinical signs of diabetes for 18>24 hours in most canine patients. Once-a-day administration of PROZINC insulin is more convenient for dog owners, which in many cases results in a better quality of life for their diabetic dogs.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

PROZINC® (protamine zinc recombinant human insulin) is for use in dogs and cats only. Keep out of the reach of children. Owners should be advised to observe for signs of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Signs may include weakness, depression, behavioral changes, muscle twitching, and anxiety. In severe cases of hypoglycemia, seizures and coma can occur. Hypoglycemia can be fatal if an affected animal does not receive prompt treatment. PROZINC should not be used during episodes of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Appropriate veterinary monitoring of blood glucose, adjustment of insulin dose and regimen as needed, and stabilization of diet and activity help minimize the risk of hypoglycemic episodes. The attending veterinarian should evaluate other adverse reactions on a case-by-case basis to determine if an adjustment in therapy is appropriate, or if alternative therapy should be considered. The safety and effectiveness of PROZINC in puppies, kittens, or breeding, pregnant, and lactating animals has not been evaluated. For more information, please see full prescribing information.
