MaryJane Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Lucy just started DES for urinary incontinence. I am getting conflicting information from different vets about how to dose -- meaning the loading dose, the tapering dose and the final dose. Would appreciate hearing from others with females on DES what their loading dose, tapering dose and final dose was and how it worked out.

tbhounds Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Here's what plumb states--0.1-1mg daily for 3-5 days then, a maintenance dose of 1mg a week. It's been awhile since I used DES with one of mine but, I believe that's the protocol that worked for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryJane Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 That's the dosage that we went with and it stopped the incontinence initially but, when we hit the 6th day which was the first day without the pill, incontinence again .... Talked to a few people and it seems that there is another protocol of 7 days on and then every other day for about 6 days and then every third day for 6 days and then the maintenance could end up being every four days or 5 days ... so, we are now on that protocol.
