4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 TARGET SPECIES
Dogs
4.2 INDICATIONS FOR USE, SPECIFYING THE TARGET SPECIES
For the treatment of canine congestive heart failure originating from
dilated cardiomyopathy or valvular insufficiency (mitral
and/or tricuspid valve regurgitation). (See also section 4.9).
For the treatment of dilated cardiomyopathy in the preclinical stage
(asymptomatic with an increase in left ventricular
end-systolic and end-diastolic diameter) in Doberman Pinschers
following echocardiographic diagnosis of cardiac disease (see
sections 4.4 and 4.5).
For the treatment of dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD)
in the preclinical stage (asymptomatic with a systolic
mitral murmur and evidence of increased heart size) to delay the onset
of clinical symptoms of heart failure (see sections 4.4
and 4.5).
4.3 CONTRAINDICATIONS
Do not use pimobendan in hypertrophic cardiomyopathies or in diseases
in which an improvement in cardiac output cannot be
achieved for functional or anatomical reasons (e.g. aortic stenosis).
Since pimobendan is metabolised mainly via the liver, it should not be
used in dogs with severe impairment of liver function.
(See also section 4.7).
Do not use in cases of hypersensitivity to the active substance or to
any of the excipients.
4.4 SPECIAL WARNINGS FOR EACH TARGET SPECIES
