Nelio for Dogs 20mg 100tablets

Nelio is a prescription drug indicated for the treatment of congestive heart failure.

Active substance: Benazepril hydrochloride 20mg.

Benazepril hydrochloride is a prodrug hydrolyzed 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 thereby 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).
