Dose to be administered and administration route
The product should be given orally once daily, with or without food. The duration of treatment is unlimited.
Dogs:
The product should be administered orally at a minimum dose of 0.25 mg (range 0.25-0.5) benazepril hydrochloride/kg body weight once daily, according to the following table:

|

2 tablets |
The dose may be doubled, still administered once daily, to a minimum dose of 0.5 mg/kg (range 0.5-1.0), if judged clinically necessary and advised by the veterinary surgeon.
In case of use of quarters or half tablets: Put the remaining quantity of the tablet back into the blister pocket and use for the next administration.
The tablets are flavoured and may be taken spontaneously by dogs, but can also be administered directly into the dog’s mouth or be given with food if necessary.
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 double-blind clinical trials in dogs with congestive heart failure, the product was well tolerated with an incidence of adverse reactions lower than observed in placebo-treated dogs.
A small number of dogs may exhibit transient vomiting, incoordination or signs of fatigue.
In dogs 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 is therefore not necessarily a reason to stop therapy in the absence of other signs.
