2.5mg Cardisan for Dogs - Per Tablet
2.5mg Cardisan for Dogs is a veterinary prescription medicine used to support dogs with certain types of chronic heart disease, when the heart is no longer pumping as efficiently as it should. The chewable tablet can help make daily dosing straightforward. It is most often prescribed for congestive heart failure linked to myxomatous mitral valve disease (a “leaky” mitral valve common in smaller breeds) or dilated cardiomyopathy (a weakened, enlarged heart muscle more often seen in larger breeds).
The active ingredient in 2.5mg Cardisan is pimobendan, often described clinically as an “inodilator”. That means it helps the heart contract more strongly (a positive inotrope) and helps blood vessels relax (vasodilation). Cardisan helps create a stronger squeeze and an easier flow, so the heart does not have to work as hard to move blood forward. Pimobendan makes the heart muscle more sensitive to calcium inside the cells, improving pumping efficiency without simply driving the heart rate up. It also has a mild effect on an enzyme called phosphodiesterase‑3 (PDE‑3), which encourages blood vessels to widen. Together, these effects can increase cardiac output and reduce the “back pressure” that worsens mitral valve leakage and encourages fluid to seep into the lungs. 2.5mg Cardisan is not a diuretic and it does not “dry out” fluid on its own, but it often works well as part of a combined plan to improve circulation and breathing comfort.
