- Relieves the symptoms of heart failure and improves the quality of life of your pet

Pimobendan is a derivative of benzimidazole pyridazinone and has a positive inotropic and vasodilating (vasodilating) effect. Unlike cardiac glycosides, the positive inotropic effect of pimobendan is due to two mechanisms: increased sensitivity of cardiac muscle fibers to calcium and inhibition of phosphodiesterase III (vasodilating effect).
The use of the drug in heart failure increases the strength of heart contractions and reduces preload and postload of the heart.
Mavedin is used in dogs
- for the treatment of heart failure caused by dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) at the asymptomatic (preclinical) and clinical stages of the disease
- with myxomatous degeneration of the bicuspid or tricuspid valve at the clinical stage
- with myxomatous degeneration of the mitral valve at an asymptomatic (preclinical) stage of the disease
