Cardisure contains pimobendan which acts on the heart muscle to increase its strength of contraction and acts on blood vessels to cause dilation. This makes it easier for the heart to pump blood around the body.
Cardisure should be given orally in the morning and in the evening each day, (12 hours between doses is ideal). Cardisure should be given one hour before feeding and because the tablets are flavoured they are readily accepted by most dogs as a treat. Follow the instructions given by your vet.
