Pimobendan Powder CAS 74150-27-9

Pimobendan Powder is a chemical used to treat mild, moderate, or severe congestive heart failure caused by atrioventricular valve insufficiency or cardiac hypertrophy in dogs.

Pimobendan is a medication commonly prescribed to dogs with certain heart conditions. It belongs to a class of drugs known as inodilators, which simultaneously improve cardiac contractility and dilate blood vessels, thereby enhancing blood flow.

The advantage associated with pimobendan is that it exerts positive inotropic effects without causing an increase in myocardial oxygen demand. This is achieved by sensitization of the myocardial contractile apparatus to intracellular calcium and by phosphodiesterase III inhibition.

Secondary hemodynamic effects may decrease mitral regurgitation (MR) in DCM, and the benefits of pimobendan may extend to improved cardiac relaxation and improved atrial function.

Pimobendan Powder is a vasodilator, so it works by decreasing your dog's heart rate to pump stronger and more effectively. Your dog's blood vessels expand, so blood is better able to be pumped all over the body and provide more nutrients to the heart.

Do not stop or reduce your pet's dose unless instructed to do so by your veterinarian. If your veterinarian recommends that you discontinue this medication for any reason, they will typically recommend that you wean your pet off the medication slowly, and under their supervision.
