Enacard Tablets for Dogs
Dosage and administration
ENARCARD Tablets for Dogs should be administered orally at a recommended dose rate of 0.5 mg/kg once daily. Individual dosages should be administered on the basis of bodyweight using the appropriate tablet or combination of tablet sizes.
In the absence of a clinical response within 2 weeks following initiation of therapy with the product, the dose should be increased, depending on the patient's response, up to a maximum of 0.5 mg/kg bodyweight administered twice daily. This dose titration may be performed over a two to four week period, or more rapidly if indicated by the presence of continuing signs of congestive heart failure. Dogs should be observed closely for 48 hours following initial dosing or an increase in dose.
Therapy with diuretics should be initiated at least one day prior to starting treatment with the product. Evaluation of the patient should include assessment of renal function prior to initiation of therapy and for 2 to 7 days after treatment with the product.
