VETMEDIN® (pimobendan) Chewable Tablets is the
only FDA-approved inodilator¹ that according to published studies, helps extend
the survival time and improves quality of life in dogs with congestive heart
failure (CHF).²,³
Given every 12 hours, the unique dual action
of VETMEDIN dilates the blood vessels carrying blood to and from the
heart—reducing the preload and afterload on the heart—while simultaneously
improving contractility of the heart muscle.1
Pimobendan, the active ingredient in VETMEDIN,
reduces stress on the heart while increasing cardiac output, without raising
oxygen or energy consumption. VETMEDIN helps dogs engage in the daily
activities they enjoy.
Increasing age is a risk factor for heart
disease and heart failure.4 According to
published studies, with early diagnosis and treatment of clinical signs, you
can prolong your dog’s life and improve their quality of life.²,³ Be sure to
talk to your veterinarian about VETMEDIN if your dog is in heart failure to
determine the proper treatment for your pet.
