Vetmedin (Pimobendan) is a veterinary medication used to treat and manage congestive heart failure in dogs, most commonly caused by myxomatous mitral valve disease or dilated cardiomyopathy. Vetmedin tablets are also used to treat dogs with asymptomatic MVD; when given to dogs with an enlarged heart, Vetmedin delays the onset of heart failure and increases overall survival time. Vetmedin helps increase lifespan and improve the quality of life in canine patients. Vetmedin is not for human use. Vetmedin works by sensitizing calcium ions in the heart in order to open up the blood vessels carrying blood to and from the heart, which in turn reduces the work your dog’s heart has to do to pump blood around their body. This also increases the strength and efficiency of your dog’s heartbeat, improving the pumping action. Tell your veterinarian about any other medications your dog is using to reduce the risk of interactions, especially in an older dog. Tell your veterinarian if your dog has a heart defect, diabetes or if your pet is pregnant or lactating. Do not use in a dog under 6 months of age. If your pet is exhibiting any serious side effects or signs of an allergic reaction, seek emergency veterinary medical attention.
