Description
0.75mg Upcard Tablets for Dogs
Upcard may only be supplied with a valid veterinary prescription issued by your vet. You should only purchase Upcard if you have or are in the process of arranging such a prescription. See information bar for further details.
0.75mg Upcard Tablets are used for treatment of clinical signs, including oedema and effusion, related to congestive heart failure in dogs.
Dosage and administration of Upcard: Oral use. UpCard tablets can be administered with or without food. The recommended dose of Upcard is 0.1 to 0.6mg per kg bodyweight, once daily. The majority of dogs are stabilised at a dose of Upcard less than or equal to 0.3 mg per kg bodyweight, once daily. The dosage should be titrated to maintain patient comfort with attention to renal function and electrolytes status. If the level of diuresis requires alteration, the dose of Upcard may be increased or decreased within the recommended dose range by increments of 0.1mg/kg bodyweight
Once signs of congestive heart failure have been controlled and the patient is stable, if long term diuretic therapy with Upcard is required it should be continued at the lowest effective dose. Frequent re-examinations of the dog will enhance the establishment of an appropriate diuretic dose. The daily schedule of administration can be timed to control the period of micturition according to need.
Contra-indications, warnings, etc: Do not use Upcard in case of renal failure. Do not use Upcard in case of severe dehydration, hypovolaemia or hypotension. Do not use Upcard concomitantly with other loop diuretics. Do not use Upcard in case of hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients.

Vetmedin Injectable - 5ml Vial
Vetmedin Injectable is a veterinary medicine used to support dogs diagnosed with congestive heart failure. It contains pimobendan, a medication widely used in canine cardiology to improve the efficiency of the heart and assist with circulation. The injectable format is designed for situations where dogs cannot take oral tablets or where a rapid therapeutic effect is required. It is administered by a veterinary professional, usually during the stabilisation phase of heart failure.
Vetmedin Injectable works through a combination of positive inotropic and vasodilatory effects. Pimobendan increases the strength of each heartbeat, enabling the heart to pump blood more effectively without placing additional strain on the cardiac muscle. At the same time, it relaxes the blood vessels, reducing the resistance against which the heart must pump. This dual action helps improve overall circulation, oxygen delivery, and energy distribution throughout the body. In many dogs, these effects contribute to improved comfort levels, better exercise tolerance, and a greater ability to carry out normal activities.
Congestive heart failure in dogs occurs when the heart can no longer function efficiently enough to meet the body’s needs. This condition often develops gradually and can be associated with underlying problems such as mitral valve disease or dilated cardiomyopathy. When the heart weakens, fluid can accumulate in the lungs or abdomen, placing additional strain on the body and contributing to symptoms such as coughing, breathlessness, reduced stamina, restlessness at night, fainting episodes, and reduced appetite. Early and accurate diagnosis allows targeted treatment to begin before symptoms escalate, and medications such as Vetmedin are an essential part of many treatment plans.
Veterinary professionals may choose the injectable form of pimobendan when fast action is required or when a dog is unable to safely swallow tablets. This can occur during episodes of advanced heart failure, hospitalisation, or emergency care. Because the injectable form enters the bloodstream quickly, its effects can become noticeable sooner than with oral preparations. Once the dog is stable, the veterinarian may transition to the tablet form for long-term management.
Vetmedin Injectable supports the heart’s mechanical performance without increasing oxygen demand to the same extent as some other cardiac medications. By enhancing contractility in a controlled and efficient way, it can help the heart manage its workload more effectively. Improved pumping action can also slow the progression of fluid accumulation, which helps reduce the severity of breathing difficulties and improves overall comfort. Dogs may become more active, more alert, and more able to tolerate gentle exercise appropriate for their condition.
