5mg/40mg Cardalis Tablets for Dogs

Cardalis 5mg/40mg is a prescription-only tablet used as part of the management of congestive heart failure in dogs. Each tablet contains two active ingredients: benazepril (5mg) and spironolactone (40mg). They work in different but complementary ways to reduce strain on the heart and help control the fluid and pressure changes that can occur with heart failure.

Congestive heart failure in dogs

Congestive heart failure (CHF) describes a stage of heart disease where the heart can no longer pump efficiently enough to meet the body’s needs. When the heart struggles, pressure can build up in blood vessels and the body activates hormone systems that attempt to maintain circulation. These responses can cause the body to retain salt and water and can make blood vessels tighten. Over time, this can lead to fluid accumulation, commonly in the lungs, and it can increase the workload of the heart.

Dogs with CHF may show coughing, faster or more laboured breathing, reduced stamina, restless sleep, reduced appetite, or swelling in the abdomen. Symptoms can vary depending on the underlying heart problem and on where fluid builds up. CHF is a condition that requires ongoing veterinary care, and treatment is usually long term.

How Cardalis works

Cardalis combines an ACE inhibitor (benazepril) with an aldosterone antagonist (spironolactone). Together, they target two key pathways that are often overactive in CHF.

Benazepril works by reducing the production of angiotensin II, a substance that narrows blood vessels and encourages salt and water retention. By reducing angiotensin II, blood vessels can relax and blood pressure can reduce. This can lower the resistance the heart has to pump against, which may improve forward blood flow and reduce congestion. Benazepril can also help limit signals that contribute to fluid retention.

Spironolactone works by blocking the effects of aldosterone. Aldosterone is a hormone that tells the body to hold on to sodium and water. In CHF, aldosterone can remain high and can continue to drive fluid retention. By antagonising aldosterone, spironolactone helps reduce sodium and water retention while conserving potassium. Aldosterone can also influence longer-term changes in the heart and blood vessels, so controlling its effects can be valuable alongside other heart medicines.

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease caused by allergic reactions to environmental substances such as pollen, moulds, dust mites, and certain foods. Symptoms typically include severe itching, redness, and recurrent skin infections. This condition can significantly impact a dog's quality of life, leading to discomfort, anxiety, and behavioural changes.

Dogs with atopic dermatitis often exhibit excessive scratching, licking, chewing, or rubbing of their skin. These behaviours can lead to hair loss, open sores, and secondary bacterial or yeast infections. Commonly affected areas include the face, ears, paws, abdomen, and armpits. If left untreated, the condition can worsen, causing chronic skin damage and increased susceptibility to infections.

Cytopoint 30mg for Dogs is a biological therapy that works by mimicking the natural immune system response. It contains a monoclonal antibody specifically designed to bind to canine IL-31. When injected, these antibodies circulate in the dog's body and neutralise IL-31, effectively blocking the itch signal. This action provides rapid relief, often within 24 hours, and can last for up to four to eight weeks, depending on the individual dog's response. This duration of action allows for less frequent dosing compared to traditional therapies such as tablets, making it a convenient option.

100mg Carprox is a medication that is commonly prescribed to dogs that are suffering from arthritis. Arthritis in dogs is a common condition that is caused by the inflammation of the joints. This can occur due to a number of reasons, including old age, obesity, and genetics. The symptoms of arthritis in dogs include limping, difficulty walking, stiffness, and pain. Carprox 100mg is an effective medication that can help to alleviate these symptoms and improve the quality of life for dogs suffering from arthritis.

Carprox works by inhibiting the production of enzymes in the body that are responsible for the inflammation of the joints. This helps to reduce the pain and stiffness associated with arthritis and allows dogs to move more freely. Carprox is available in tablet form and is administered orally. It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by your Vet to ensure that your dog receives the correct amount of medication.

100mg Carprox Vet Tablets for Dogs are used for the reduction of inflammation and pain caused by musculoskeletal disorders and degenerative joint disease.

VETERINARY PRESCRIPTION REQUIRED

Apoquel 5.4mg tablets contain oclacitinib, a veterinary medicine used in dogs to control itching (pruritus) associated with allergic skin disease. Apoquel is commonly prescribed for dogs with allergic dermatitis, including canine atopic dermatitis, where inflammation and itch can become persistent. The 5.4mg strength is selected by a veterinary surgeon based on your dog’s bodyweight and treatment plan.

What Apoquel 5.4mg is used for

Apoquel is used to help control:
• Acute pruritus (sudden onset itching) linked to allergic dermatitis.
• Chronic pruritus (long-term or recurring itching) linked to allergic dermatitis, including canine atopic dermatitis.

Itching is a symptom rather than a diagnosis. A veterinary assessment is important to identify likely triggers, check for parasites or infection, and decide whether Apoquel is appropriate.

How Apoquel works

Allergic skin problems in dogs are driven by chemical messengers in the immune system. These messengers, often called cytokines, help coordinate inflammation and the sensation of itch. In allergic dermatitis, this signalling can become overactive, leading to redness, irritation, and scratching.

Oclacitinib works by targeting specific signalling pathways inside immune cells known as Janus kinases (JAKs). By reducing JAK-dependent signalling, Apoquel helps lower the activity of itch-promoting and inflammation-promoting cytokines. This can reduce the urge to scratch and can calm skin inflammation, which helps break the itch–scratch cycle that can damage the skin barrier.

Because it acts on immune signalling, Apoquel does not remove allergens from the environment, and it does not treat the root cause of parasites or infection. It is often used alongside an overall plan that may include flea control, skin care, diet management, and treatment of secondary bacterial or yeast infection where needed.
