Cardalis for dogs is used to treat congestive heart failure when it has been caused by chronic degenerative valvular disease. Each oblong Cardalis tablet contains a fixed combination Benazepril Hydrochloride and Spironolactone. Cardalis is used to treat animals that require both active substances to be administered concomitantly at this fixed dose. Cardalis tablets are often also used in conjunction with other medications, such as Vetmedin and Frusemide.
Congestive heart failure is when your dog’s heart has trouble pumping blood to the rest of the body. This can be caused by old age, an injury or an infection. In some cases, dog’s can be born with this defect.
Cardalis is also available as 2.5mg/20mg, 5mg/40mg and 10mg/80mg doses to accommodate different sizes and breeds of dog.
CARDALIS is indicated with concurrent therapy (e.g. furosemide, etc.) for the management of clinical signs of mild, moderate, or severe congestive heart failure in dogs due to atrioventricular valvular insufficiency (AVVI).
