Usage

While some dogs may show improvement within the first 1-2 weeks of treatment, others may require 8 weeks or longer. Your veterinarian will closely monitor your dog’s progress and may adjust the dosage as needed according to the treatment plan.
If you have questions about your pet’s prescribed dosing schedule (e.g., timing, interval), please contact your veterinarian.
Manufacturer Dosage and Administration*
The recommended dose of RECONCILE chewable tablets is 1-2 mg/kg (0.5-0.9 mg/lb) administered once daily, in conjunction with a behavior modification plan. A typical behavior modification plan consists of the pet owner implementing standard training techniques based on principles such as rewarding appropriate behavior; coming and going in a manner that does not elicit inappropriate responses from the dog; and teaching the dog to be content while alone.
If your dog does not readily accept the RECONCILE chewable tablet, it may be offered in food or administered like other tablet medications. Follow your veterinarian’s directions regarding how much medication to administer.
If a dose is missed, the next scheduled dose should be given as prescribed. Do not increase or double the dose.

Storage
Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (68-77°F). Temporary periods of time outside of this range between 59-86°F are permitted. Close the lid tightly between uses and keep the desiccant in the bottle until the medication is finished.
Keep this and all other medications in a secure location out of the reach of children and animals. Exposure to extreme temperatures, light, or moisture can affect the integrity and effectiveness of medications. Always store this medication properly (e.g., away from the bathroom, kitchen sink, or other damp places), as outlined on the product label.
Side effects
As with all medications, side effects may occur. Your veterinarian can best describe these for you and discuss what to do if you observe any unexpected effects or unusual behavior in your dog. The most serious side effect is seizures (convulsions), which in rare and severe cases can result in death. Based on clinical field studies, some animals may appear more calm or lethargic. Additional side effects that may be observed include: decreased appetite, vomiting, shaking or shivering, diarrhea, restlessness, excessive vocalization or whining, aggression, ear infections, disorientation, incoordination, constipation, excessive salivation and weight loss. Since the introduction of RECONCILE, additional side effects reported are anxiety, dilated pupils, panting and confusion.
Contact your veterinarian immediately if your pet has a seizure or displays any significant behavior changes (e.g., new or worsening aggression, extreme restlessness).
The information provided above may not encompass all possible side effects. Please notify your veterinarian if your pet experiences any side effects, including those listed above, or if you notice anything unusual.
