Nelio for Dogs 5mg 100 tablets
Treatment of congestive heart failure.
Nelio is a prescription drug indicated for the treatment of congestive heart failure.
Active substance: Benazepril hydrochloride 5mg.
Benazepril hydrochloride is an in vivo hydrolyzed prodrug for its active metabolite, benazeprilat. Benazeprilat is a highly potent selective ACE inhibitor, thus preventing the conversion of inactive angiotensin I into active angiotensin II and thus also reducing the synthesis of aldosterone. 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).
