DETAILS

Description

PROZINC (protamine zinc recombinant human insulin) is the simple and reliable choice for diabetes control in dogs and cats. It is a veterinarian-approved and prescribed injectable insulin for cats and dogs. With just two daily doses a day in cats and once-a-day dosing in most dogs, delivered before or just after a meal, PROZINC insulin provides predictable glycemic control in pets with diabetes. A single PROZINC injection has an appropriate duration of activity (10-14 hours) in cats and an extended duration of activity (16->24 hours) in dogs. If your cat or dog has been diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, you understand the importance of regulating blood glucose and controlling clinical signs. With its appropriate duration of action in cats, and extended duration of action in dogs, PROZINC insulin will provide glycemic control and help improve the quality of life of your cat or dog. PROZINC insulin requires refrigeration, as well as the use of U-40 syringes, which are sold separately.

- Approved by the FDA as a first-line treatment for diabetes in cats, is available for use in dogs
- Appropriate glycemic control provided by 16 to >24 hr. extended duration of action in dogs
- Reduces hyperglycemia and hyperglycemia-associated clinical signs in both cats and dogs with diabetes mellitus
- Administered with pet-appropriate U-40 syringes4 (sold separately) to ensure accurate dosing and to minimize error
- PROZINC (protamine zinc recombinant human insulin) has been rigorously tested for safety and efficacy in cats and dogs

DIRECTIONS

USE OF A SYRINGE OTHER THAN A U-40 SYRINGE WILL RESULT IN INCORRECT DOSING. FOR SUBCUTANEOUS INJECTION ONLY. DO NOT SHAKE OR AGITATE THE VIAL. PROZINC (protamine zinc recombinant human insulin) should be mixed by gently rolling the vial prior to withdrawing each dose from the vial. Once mixed, PROZINC suspension has a white, cloudy appearance. Clumps or visible white particles can form in insulin suspensions: do not use the product if clumps or visible white particles persist after gently rolling the vial. Using a U-40 insulin syringe, the injection should be administered subcutaneously on the back of the neck or on the side of the cat or dog. See full prescribing details for dosage.

WARNINGS

Cats and dogs presenting with severe ketoacidosis, anorexia, lethargy, and/or vomiting should be stabilized with short-acting insulin and appropriate supportive therapy until their condition is stabilized. As with all insulin products, careful patient monitoring for hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia is essential to attain and maintain adequate glycemic control and to prevent associated complications. Overdose can result in profound hypoglycemia and death. Glucocorticoids, progestogens, and certain endocrinopathies can have an antagonistic effect on insulin activity. Glucocorticoid and progestogen use should be avoided. The safety and effectiveness of PROZINC insulin in breeding, pregnant, and lactating cats and dogs has not been evaluated. The safety and effectiveness of PROZINC insulin in kittens and puppies has not been evaluated.

Customers say

Customers overwhelmingly praise this flea and tick protection for its rapid, powerful action and broad pest coverage. Most report pets remain completely free of fleas and ticks for weeks or months, even in high-risk environments like wooded areas. Reviewers highlight the easy, non-messy topical application that dries quickly without skin irritation. Many note dramatic reductions in scratching within days and improved overall pet comfort. A very small number report occasional ineffectiveness or rare adverse reactions, but these are vastly outweighed by strong satisfaction across the board.

I have had my ProZinc insulin deliveries botched by Vetco/Vetsource several times, and today was the last straw. My package (delivered by UPS, not my choice) was laying on my front walk, in the sun, in Texas, and I had received NO notice of delivery from the carrier. When I opened the soft insulated envelope, the icepack was completely melted, and the gel inside the ice pack was oozing from a break in the icepack's seam. There was goo all over the inside of the package. The insulin vial's box was smashed and unusable to protect the insulin vial. I will NEVER again order from any pet pharmacy that uses Vetsource/Vetco to fulfill its prescriptions. Totally inept fulfillment process and people there.

No, I do not recommend this product.

We’re sorry your order arrived damaged and appreciate you letting us know. We’d like to help get this corrected. Please reach out at petco.com/contact-us.

All the process took too much time, my cat almost died waiting for the insuline. We had to buy it from the veterinary clinic with a high surcharge and the insuline from Petco wasn’t pack it well either, the ice was already watery when it finally got home.

No, I do not recommend this product.

let’s start off with the fact that I still have not received it second took several phone calls to the Petco in Patchogue to get it approved and third they wouldn’t review it until I had another appointment when I just had one three months ago, overcharging constantly

No, I do not recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] FRONTLINE® Shield for Dogs (XS, 5-10 lbs) was very easy to apply topically to my small dog. 3 doses come in a box (3 month supply). It works to fight/shield your dog from adult fleas & their eggs (& larvae), ticks, mosquitoes, chewing lice, & stable flies. One dose lasts one month.
