What is Cardisure?
Cardisure is a medication commonly prescribed for animals with heart conditions, particularly those suffering from congestive heart failure or other cardiovascular issues. It contains the active ingredient Pimobendan, which helps to improve the heart's ability to pump blood effectively and efficiently. Animals may need Cardisure if they have been diagnosed with conditions such as dilated cardiomyopathy or mitral valve disease, as it can help to manage symptoms and improve their quality of life. It is important to follow your veterinarian's instructions carefully when administering Cardisure to your pet.
What problems could my pet have with Cardisure?
While Cardisure is generally well-tolerated by most animals, there are some potential side effects and considerations to be aware of when administering this medication to your pet.
