Enacard
Information
Enacard, the World's
leading ACEi in both veterinary and human medicine.
Enacard
BENEFITS AND USAGE:
Enacard contains
enalapril, and belongs to a group of heart drugs called ACE-inhibitors.
Enalapril was one of the first drugs shown to make dogs with heart
disease live longer and not just better.
Enacard reduces
the work that the failing heart has to do, improving the circulation
to important organs such as the lungs, brain and kidneys. Enalapril
has been the number one choice of both human and veterinary cardiologists
worldwide for two decades.
Enacard
Offers:
- An exceptional safety
record with over 80 million doses having been administered to dogs
since it's introduction
- Unsurpassed levels
of efficacy.
- More successful outcomes
in real life situations than any other ACEi.
Enacard
Side Effects:
- Nausea, appetite loss,
or diarrhea are sometimes observed with this medication. In some
patients, these effects are severe enough to preclude the use of
enalapril.
- In some patients, blood
pressure can drop too low as the peripheral blood vessels are dilated.
This manifests as listlessness and lethargy. Often the dose of enalapril
can be modified should this side effect occur.
- Enalapril may lead
to elevations in potassium blood levels.
