Nelio Tablets for Dogs 5mg & 20mg 1×100

PRESCRIPTION NEEDED (Pom-V)

Nelio tablets for dogs are used to support dogs with certain heart and kidney problems. These conditions are usually long term. Because of this, Nelio tablets for dogs are often given every day and form part of a wider plan that may also include diet changes and other medicines.

Benazepril in Nelio tablets for dogs helps relax blood vessels. This reduces the resistance the heart pumps against and can support better blood flow to important organs, including the kidneys. Over time, this can help many dogs feel more comfortable and cope better with their condition.

Benefits of Nelio tablets for dogs

Using Nelio tablets for dogs under veterinary supervision can offer several key benefits:

✔ Help reduce the workload on the heart in many cardiac conditions
✔ Support better blood pressure control and blood flow
✔ Help reduce protein loss in the urine in some kidney cases
✔ Available in 5 mg and 20 mg strengths for different dog sizes
✔ Film-coated tablets that are easy to handle and accurately dose

When Nelio tablets for dogs are used consistently and monitored with regular check-ups, they can play an important role in maintaining quality of life.

How Nelio tablets for dogs work

Nelio tablets for dogs contain benazepril, which is an ACE inhibitor (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor).

In simple terms, benazepril:

• Blocks the ACE enzyme

• Helps blood vessels relax and widen

• Lowers the resistance the heart has to pump against

As a result, the heart can work more efficiently. In some dogs with kidney disease and protein in the urine, Nelio tablets for dogs can also help reduce protein loss, which may slow down further damage when combined with the right diet and other treatments.

When vets prescribe Nelio tablets for dogs

Your vet may prescribe Nelio tablets for dogs when:

• Your dog has been diagnosed with heart disease, such as valve disease or some cardiomyopathies

• Your dog has chronic kidney disease where an ACE inhibitor is appropriate

• Blood and urine tests suggest your dog will benefit from improved blood flow and reduced pressure on the kidneys

Before starting Nelio tablets for dogs, your vet will usually:

• Take a full history and examine your dog

• Perform blood tests and urine tests

• Often measure blood pressure and, if needed, carry out imaging such as X-rays or ultrasound

These checks help confirm that Nelio tablets for dogs are suitable and safe.

Monitoring while your dog is on Nelio

• Adjust the dose of Nelio tablets for dogs if your dog’s condition, weight or test results change
