This is a compounded preparation combining Enalapril Maleate (an ACE inhibitor), Furosemide (a loop diuretic) and Pimobendan (an inodilator). In compounding practice, clinicians may consider a multi-ingredient preparation like this for a multi-targeted approach. Your veterinarian determines whether it is appropriate based on your animal's diagnostic findings.
Enalapril Maleate is an ACE inhibitor; it reduces angiotensin II to ease vascular resistance. Furosemide is a loop diuretic; it promotes removal of excess fluid by the kidneys. Pimobendan is an inodilator; it supports the heart's pumping action and helps relax blood vessels.
