Benadyl 5mg 98 tablets

Benadyl 5mg is indicated for the treatment of congestive heart failure in dogs and the reduction of proteinuria associated with chronic kidney disease in cats.

Active substances: Benazepril Hydrochloride 5mg.

Benazepril hydrochloride is a prodrug hydrolysed in vivo to its active metabolite, benazeprilat. Benazeprilat is a highly potent selective ACE inhibitor, thus preventing the conversion of inactive angiotensin I to active angiotensin II and thus also reducing aldosterone synthesis. As such, it blocks the effects mediated by angiotensin II and aldosterone, including vasoconstriction of arteries and veins, sodium and water retention by the kidneys, and remodeling effects (including pathological cardiac hypertrophy and degenerative renal changes).

Dosage and administration route:

The product should be administered orally once a day, with or without food. The duration of treatment is unlimited.

Dogs: The veterinary medicinal product should be administered orally, at a minimum dose of 0.25 mg (range 0.25-0.5 mg) of benazepril hydrochloride/kg of body weight, once a day, according to the indicated.
