Prilactone Next 100mg 24 tablets | Heart failure in dogs

Prilactone Next 100mg 24 tablets is a chewable tablet containing spironolactone, from Ceva Animal Health, to support cardiac function in dogs with congestive heart failure. The box contains 24 tablets of 100mg each and is given once a day with food.

What is it for

Spironolactone acts as an aldosterone antagonist, a hormone that promotes fluid retention and cardiac remodeling. By blocking aldosterone, it reduces sodium and fluid retention, thus alleviating the workload on the heart. It is considered for use in dogs with degenerative mitral valve disease or other cardiac conditions.

How it is used

Administered orally, once daily, always with food to improve absorption and reduce digestive discomfort. The exact dose depends on the dog's weight and the tablet strength (10 mg, 50 mg, or 100 mg). It can be combined with ACE inhibitors such as benazepril or enalapril, pimobendan, and diuretics such as furosemide. It is typically used continuously in dogs with chronic heart disease, and the duration depends on clinical progress and veterinary monitoring.

For what animals
