Statements:
Each tablet contains 1.25 mg pimobendan
Claims:
Vetmedin Flavoured Chewable Tablets are indicated for:
The treatment of canine congestive heart failure (CHF) originating
from dilated
cardiomyopathy (DCM) or valvular insufficiency (mitral and/ or
tricuspid regurgitation).
The treatment of pre-clinical DCM in large breed dogs. When used in
cases of preclinical
DCM in large breed dogs, pimobendan significantly prolonged the time
to the onset of CHF
or sudden death, and also resulted in prolongation of the time to
death due to all causes.
Doberman Pinscher dogs with preclinical DCM treated with pimobendan
also demonstrated
a significant reduction in Left Ventricular Internal Diameter in both
systole and diastole
(LVIDs/d) in response to therapy.
The treatment of dogs with evidence of increased heart size secondary
to asymptomatic
(preclinical) myxomatous mitral valve disease to delay the onset of
clinical symptoms of
heart failure, to reduce heart size and to increase survival time.
