Fortekor Plus Tablet 1.25/2.5mg is a veterinary prescription-only medicine (POM) specifically formulated for dogs suffering from congestive heart failure. This essential medication combines two active ingredients to help manage your dog's heart condition effectively.

Description

Fortekor Plus Tablet 1.25/2.5mg is a trusted treatment for canine congestive heart failure, a serious condition that affects many dogs. It contains a unique combination of Benazepril hydrochloride and Pimobendan, working together to improve heart function and enhance your dog's quality of life.

How Fortekor Plus Works for Your Dog's Heart Health

This medication targets key aspects of heart failure:

  • Benazepril Hydrochloride: An ACE inhibitor, it helps relax blood vessels, reducing the workload on your dog's heart and improving blood flow throughout the body.
  • Pimobendan: An inodilator, it strengthens the heart's contractions and further dilates blood vessels, leading to more efficient pumping of blood and reduced fluid build-up.

Together, these ingredients provide comprehensive support for dogs experiencing heart failure due to conditions such as valvular insufficiency or dilated cardiomyopathy. Regular administration, as prescribed by your veterinary surgeon, is crucial for managing symptoms and maintaining your dog's well-being.
