Vivaldis Ben Spiro 80/10 mg Chewable Tablets for Dogs is a veterinary cardiac medication containing Spironolactone 80 mg and Benazepril Hydrochloride 10 mg per tablet. Developed for canine cardiac care, this combination is used under veterinary supervision in the management of certain heart conditions, including congestive heart failure associated with valvular disease, when prescribed by a veterinarian.
Spironolactone is an aldosterone antagonist with potassium-sparing diuretic properties, while benazepril is an ACE inhibitor. These medicines act through different mechanisms to support the veterinary management of selected cardiac conditions. Treatment suitability, monitoring and dosage must be determined by the attending veterinarian.
The chewable tablet formulation may help make administration easier for some dogs. Always follow the prescribing veterinarian's instructions and the current product label.
