Description
20mg Benazecare for Dogs
Benazecare may only be supplied with a valid veterinary prescription issued by your vet. You should only purchase Benazecare if you have or are in the process of arranging such a prescription. See information bar for further details.
Benazecare are pale yellow film-coated divisible oval tablets. Each Benazecare tablet contains 20mg benazepril hydrochloride.
Benazecare is indicated for the treatment of congestive heart failure in dogs and the treatment of chronic renal insufficiency in cats.
After oral administration Benazecare is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and hydrolysed into benazeprilat a highly specific and potent inhibitor of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). Benazeprilat produces significant inhibition of plasma ACE activity for more than 24 hours after a single dose in both dogs and cats. Inhibition of ACE leads to a reduced conversion of inactive angiotensin I into angiotensin II and therefore reduction in the effects mediated by angiotensin II including vasoconstriction of both arteries and veins retention of sodium and water by the kidney and remodelling effects (including pathological cardiac hypertrophy and degenerative renal changes).
In dogs with heart failure benazeprilat lowers the blood pressure and volume loading effect on the heart.
In cats with renal insufficiency Benazecare reduces the protein loss in urine and normalises the elevated glomerular capillary pressure and reduces systemic blood pressure. Reduction in glomerular hypertension retards the progression of kidney disease by inhibition of further damage to the kidneys. Benazecare has been shown to increase the appetite quality of life and the survival time of cats particularly in advanced disease.
Benazecare is excreted equally by both biliary and urinary routes in dogs and primarily via the biliary route in cats and therefore no adjustment of the dose of Benazecare is necessary in the treatment of cases with renal insufficiency. Onset of clinical efficacy can be expected approximately 1 week after initiation of treatment with Benazecare.

In both dogs and cats Benazecare should be given orally once daily with or without food. The duration of treatment is unlimited.

What is Hypertension in Cats?
Systemic hypertension in cats refers to an abnormally high blood pressure within the arteries. It is more commonly seen in middle-aged and older cats and is often linked with underlying conditions such as chronic kidney disease (CKD) or hyperthyroidism. In some cases, it may occur without any identifiable cause, a condition known as idiopathic hypertension.
