Vetmedin Oral Solution (pimobendan) – 50ml
Vetmedin Oral Solution is a heart medication for dogs.
It’s licensed for congestive heart failure (when the heart can’t pump well enough and fluid builds up, usually in the lungs), and for some dogs with early heart disease before any signs show (preclinical MMVD, or DCM in Doberman Pinschers).
Each 50ml bottle contains 1.5mg of pimobendan per ml.
Wipe the syringe tip after each dose and store it in the box.
Don’t give Vetmedin to dogs with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, aortic stenosis or other conditions where heart output can’t be improved, or severe liver problems.
Read the official datasheet for warnings, side effects and storage.
This is a prescription item. We can dispatch only against a valid prescription, approved by our vet.
As a POM-V item, give Vetmedin Oral Solution only as your vet directs, including the dose and timing.
Always read the label and datasheet carefully, and ask your vet if anything is unclear.
Given by mouth on an empty stomach, at least one hour before food.
