The product should be given orally once daily, with or without food. The duration of treatment is unlimited.

In case of use of half tablets: Put the remaining half of the tablet back into the blister pocket and use for the next administration.
Instruction on how to divide the tablet: Put the tablet on an even surface, with its scored side facing down (convex face up). With the tip of the forefinger, exert slight vertical pressure on the middle of the tablet to break it along its width into halves.
Then, in order to obtain quarters, exert slight pressure on the middle of one half with the forefinger to break it into two parts.
Adverse reactions
In cats with chronic kidney disease, the product may increase plasma creatinine concentrations at the start of therapy. A moderate increase in plasma creatinine concentrations following administration of ACE inhibitors is compatible with the reduction in glomerular hypertension induced by these agents, and therefore is not necessarily a reason to stop therapy in the absence of other signs.
The product may increase food consumption and body weight.
Emesis, anorexia, dehydration, lethargy and diarrhoea have been reported in rare occasions.
