Doxepin (generic for Sinequan) is an antidepressant drug in the class of tricyclic antidepressants, mainly used for skin disorders caused by anxiety in dogs. This medication is the human labeled product but it is also used for dogs.
Doxepin can cause vomiting, dry mouth, difficulty urinating, and can cause your dog to become sleepy. It may also cause other side effects, depending on your pet.
Do not give your pet aged cheese or use flea/tick collars while your pet is on Doxepin because it can cause toxicity and possibly death. It may take several weeks to see the effects of doxepin. Give the medication at the same time(s) each day. Other foods and drugs can interact with this medication, so contact your VetRxDirect Pharmacist or your pet's veterinarian before starting anything new.
Doxepin is sold as an FDA approved generic drug. Brand varies from order to order and variation to variation. VetRxDirect is unable to guarantee which brand will be available at the time of order shipment.
