Cardisure Flavoured Tablets for Dogs

Cardisure Flavoured Tablets are for the treatment of canine congestive heart failure originating from valvular insufficiency (mitral and/or tricuspid regurgitation) or dilated cardiomyopathy.

Light brown, round tablets, scored on one side and plain on the other side. The tablets can be divided into 2 equal parts.

Cardisure Flavoured Tablets are sold singly so please select the amount and strength written on the prescription your vet gives you.

Use as directed by your veterinary surgeon and read all product packaging before use.

The product should be administered on an empty stomach at least one hour before meals, as absorption is reduced when given with feed.

Active substance: Pimobendan

Contraindications
Do not use in cases of hypertrophic cardiomyopathies or clinical conditions where
an augmentation of cardiac output is not possible for functional or anatomical
reasons

Special precautions for use in animals
The product is flavoured. To avoid accidental ingestion the tablets should be stored
out of reach of dogs. An in vitrostudy in rat tissue demonstrated that pimobendan
increased glucose-induced insulin release from pancreatic β-cells in a dosedependent manner. If the product is administered to diabetic dogs, blood glucose
levels should be carefully monitored. As pimobendan is metabolised in the liver,
particular care should be taken when administering the product to dogs with severe
hepatic insufficiency.
