Corvental D Capsules for Dogs 100–500mg

Corvental D Capsules for Dogs 100–500mg

PRESCRIPTION NEEDED (Pom-V)

Corvental D capsules for dogs are used to help manage some heart and breathing problems. Dogs with these conditions may cough, tire quickly, breathe more rapidly or struggle with exercise. These signs can be worrying; however, the right treatment plan can often improve comfort.

Corvental D capsules for dogs contain theophylline. Theophylline helps to relax smooth muscle in the airways and blood vessels. This effect can make breathing easier and can support the heart by improving blood flow through the lungs.

Because these conditions are usually long term, Corvental D capsules for dogs are often given every day alongside other heart or lung medicines and lifestyle changes.

Corvental D strengths available

To allow accurate, weight-based dosing, Corvental D capsules for dogs are available in three strengths on this product page:

• Corvental D Hard Capsules 100 mg

• Corvental D Hard Capsules 200 mg

• Corvental D Hard Capsules 500 mg

Your vet will prescribe a specific strength or a combination of strengths. This choice depends on your dog’s bodyweight and the dose needed in milligrams per kilogram. You should always order and use the exact Corvental D capsules for dogs that match your written prescription.

Benefits of Corvental D capsules for dogs

When used under veterinary supervision, Corvental D capsules for dogs can offer several important benefits:

• Help relax the airways, so breathing feels easier for your dog

• Support better airflow through the lungs during rest and gentle exercise

• Improve oxygen delivery to the body, which can support energy levels

• Work alongside other heart medicines in certain cardiac conditions

• Provide flexible dosing with three capsule strengths

These benefits do not cure the underlying disease; however, they can help many dogs feel more comfortable and active day to day.

How Corvental D capsules for dogs work

Corvental D capsules for dogs contain theophylline, which belongs to a group of medicines called bronchodilators.

Theophylline works by:

• Relaxing smooth muscle in the walls of the airways

• Helping the bronchial tubes in the lungs stay more open

• Reducing resistance to airflow in and out of the lungs

Because the airways can open more, Corvental D capsules for dogs can make it easier for your dog to move air in and out. In some dogs, the medicine also helps blood vessels in the lungs and body relax. This effect can support the heart and overall circulation.

Your vet will often use Corvental D capsules for dogs together with other treatments such as diuretics, ACE inhibitors or cough medicines, depending on the diagnosis.

When vets may prescribe Corvental D capsules for dogs

Your vet may prescribe Corvental D capsules for dogs when:

• Your dog has a heart condition where improving breathing will support comfort

• There is chronic bronchitis or another long-term airway problem

• Your dog coughs regularly, especially at night or on exercise

• Breathing effort or rate is increased and a bronchodilator is appropriate

Before starting Corvental D capsules for dogs, your vet will normally:

• Take a full history of coughing, breathing and exercise tolerance

• Examine your dog, including listening to the chest

• Often recommend X-rays, heart scans, blood tests or other investigations

These tests help confirm the cause of the problem and ensure that Corvental D capsules for dogs are safe and suitable.

• Capsules are usually given by mouth and can often be given with food

• Try to give each dose at the same times every day to keep levels steady

Monitoring and ongoing care with Corvental D capsules for dogs

• Listen to the heart and lungs and check gum colour and body condition

• Check your dog’s weight and adjust the dose if there has been a change

In some dogs, blood tests may be recommended. These tests can help check for side effects and, in some cases, the vet may wish to measure theophylline levels. This information helps your vet fine-tune the dose of Corvental D capsules for dogs where needed.
