Usage

Vetmedin (Pimobendan) is a pet medication used to treat dogs with mild, moderate, or severe congestive heart failure caused by valvular insufficiency or dilated cardiomyopathy. The active ingredient in the Vetmedin tablet is Pimobendan. Pimobendan belongs to the class of drugs called inodilators or inotropic vasodilators. It lowers the pressure in the arteries and veins and improves heart muscle strength. This improves blood flow to the body without causing heart muscle damage. Improvements in heart function while on Pimobendan can be seen within one week of taking the medication, and some dogs continue to improve over several weeks.

The common side effects of Vetmedin are vomiting, lethargy, weakness, ataxia, decreased appetite, and diarrhea.

Stop using Vetmedin and contact your doctor right away if you have any of the serious side effects such as:
• Abnormal heart rhythms;
• Decreased energy (lethargy);
• Difficulty breathing;
• Elevated kidney enzymes on laboratory investigation;
• Lack of coordination;
• Severe weakness and inactivity;
• Worsening of your pet's condition
