Description
Once daily oral medication used in the treatment of dogs with heart failure and for cats with chronic renal insufficiency and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
VetACE contains benazepril hydrochloride which is an ACE (Angiotensin Converting Enzyme) inhibitor drug that helps to control vasoconstriction of both arteries and veins and retention of sodium and water by the kidney.
VetACE for Dogs:
- Treatment of left-sided heart failure in dogs (e.g. Mitral Valve Regurgitation and Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM)
- Inhibits the renin angiotensin aldosterone (RAA) system, minimising the undesirable effects of vasoconstriction and sodium retention
- Generally will improve the clinical status of the patient
- May be used in combination therapy with diuretics (for example frusemide), digoxin and antiarrhythmic drugs as necessary

VetACE for Cats:

Precautions:
Dogs and cats:
- The safety of VetACE has not been tested in breeding dogs or cats. VetACE is therefore not recommended for use in pregnant or lactating animals
- Clinical trials showed that VetACE was well tolerated in patients. A small number of animals may exhibit transient signs of fatigue
- Clinical trials have shown no evidence of VetACE causing renal toxicity - routine monitoring is recommended in animals with kidney problems
- Transient reversible hypotension may occur in cases of accidental overdosage
