Sileo Oromucosal Gel for Dogs
Sileo is prescribed to help calm dogs frightened by loud noises. Common noise aversion triggers include fireworks, thunder, construction work, traffic or street noise, celebrations, vacuum cleaners and smoke detectors. Sileo works by blocking norepinephrine, a brain chemical similar to adrenaline that pumps up anxiety.
Dexmedetomidine Oromucosal Gel
Sileo is administered onto the lining of the mouth by placing the gel between your dog’s cheek and gums, allowing for transmucosal absorption. Since the gel is absorbed through the skin, it should not be swallowed by your dog. If the gel is swallowed, the product may not be effective and do not repeat the dose for at least two hours. A dose greater than 6 dots should be divided evenly between both sides of the mouth. Use gloves in the administration of Sileo. The dosing chart is by body weight and associated number of dots.
Speak with your veterinarian and follow your pet's prescription for specific dosing instructions for your pet.
