Vetmedin contains pimobendan, and is the first dual acting inodilator licensed in veterinary medicine, a breakthrough treatment for congestive heart failure resulting from Myxomatous Mitral Valve Disease (MMVD) or Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) in dogs. An inodilator is an agent with both inotropic (affecting the force of muscular contractions) and vasodilator (causing dilation of the blood vessels) effects. Vetmedin may be given alone, or alongside other medication.
