Clomicalm Main Uses
Clomicalm is primarily used to treat separation anxiety and stereotypy (obsessive compulsive disorder) in dogs older than 6 months
Helps reduce anxious behaviors related to separation, such as excessive barking, destructive tendencies, and inappropriate elimination (urination or defecation)
 
Clomicalm Active Ingredients
The active ingredient is clomipramine hydrochloride, a tricyclic antidepressant.
Clomipramine primarily works by affecting brain chemicals, specifically serotonin, that influence mood and anxiety.
Its action supports improved emotional regulation, enabling dogs to respond better to behavioral therapy.
Tablets often contain meat-based components to facilitate administration.
 
Clomicalm Dosage & Administration
Prescription only; consult a veterinarian for individual dosing.
The recommended dose for dogs is 2-4 mg/kg/day, which can be administered as a single daily dose or divided twice daily based on tolerance and side effects.
Dosing should be paired with a behavioral modification plan for best results.
Tablets may be given with or without food. Giving with food may help reduce the risk of vomiting.
Adjustment is required based on weight, and monitoring is advised for ongoing efficacy and safety.
