Vetmedin (Pimobendan) Chewable Tablets for Dogs 1.25mg

Vetmedin Chewable Tablets - Heart Murmur Medicine For Dogs

Vetmedin (Pimobendan) 1.25mg Chewable Tablets are a crucial therapeutic solution for managing congestive heart failure (CHF) in dogs. Heart conditions such as CHF and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) cause significant discomfort and reduced quality of life in pets. 

This FDA-approved drug is specifically designed to improve cardiac function, enhance longevity, and alleviate symptoms associated with these conditions, providing a comprehensive solution that surpasses competitors.

Mechanism of Action

Here is the detailed Mechanism of Action of Vetmedin:

1. Vetmedin strengthens the contractions of the heart muscle, improving its pumping efficiency. It does this by making the heart muscle more responsive to calcium, improving the heart's pumping without speeding up the heart rate.

2. Vetmedin dilates blood vessels, reducing the workload on the heart and improving blood flow. It blocks an enzyme called phosphodiesterase III to achieve this vasodilating effect.
