Temaril-P Tablets

Temaril-P is formulated to help relieve itching and inflammation associated with allergies and other causes. It is intended to be used as a cough suppressant and is easy to administer. As with any antitussive treatment, the source of a cough should be determined and eliminated if possible. Temaril-P may be administered to animals suffering from acute or chronic bacterial infections as long as the infection is controlled by appropriate antibiotics or chemotherapeutic agents.

If any of the following serious side effects occur, stop giving Temaril-P and seek emergency veterinary medical attention; an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; swelling of the lips, tongue or face; hives). Trimeprazine can cause drowsiness, tremors and muscle weakness. Prednisolone may cause symptoms of Cushing's disease which include increased thirst, urination and hunger as well as vomiting and diarrhea. Other side effects may also occur. Talk to your veterinarian about any side effect that seems unusual or bothersome to your pet.

Do not use Temaril-P in animals with tuberculosis, peptic ulcer, and Cushing’s syndrome. Use with extreme caution in pregnant animals. Watch for evidence of concurrent infection.

Trimeprazine is an antihistamine. It blocks the effect of histamine in the body. Histamine can contribute to itching and cough. Prednisolone is a corticosteroid that blocks the production of substances that trigger allergic and inflammatory actions. Prednisolone is used to modify the body's immune response.

What results can I expect?
Temaril-P will not cure the cause of the problem, but will help manage the symptoms. Temaril-P should start to work within hours of administration. During the initial phase of treatment the effect should last 12 hours, and become longer as therapy progresses. If Temaril-P is stopped, signs of the disease may reappear.

The weight of the dog's initial dosage is as follows: up to 10 lb take 1/2 tablet twice daily, 11–20 lb take 1 tablet twice daily, 21–40 lb take 2 tablets twice daily and over 40 lb take 3 tablets twice daily. After 4 days, reduce dosage to 1/2 of the initial dose or to an amount just sufficient to maintain remission of symptoms. The individual animal response will vary and dosage should be adjusted until proper response. Always follow dosage instructions provided by your veterinarian.
