Description

Sildenafil is a prescription drug prescribed by veterinarians for your pet to treat heart and/or lung problems, including pulmonary hypertension.

Why use Sildenafil, 20 mg Tablet? 

Used by Veterinarians to treat pulmonary hypertension in pets, as it increases blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs.

How does Sildenafil, 20 mg Tablet work? 

Sildenafil treats Pulmonary Hypertension, which is abnormally high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs that forces the right side of the heart to work harder than normal. When using sildenafil it decreases the work load on the heart by causing the smooth muscle surrounding small blood vessels in the lungs to relax.

What are the side effects of Sildenafil Tablet 20 mg? 

Contact your veterinarian if you notice any unusual changes in your pet’s behavior or health, since possible adverse side effects are not well documented or understood due to limited veterinary use. In some dogs taking the medication, the most common side effects associated with Sildenafil include gastrointestinal upset and reddening of the skin.

What are special precautions? 

Keep out of the reach of children and pets. Use only for the pet prescribed for. Do not use in pets with known hypersensitivity to sildenafil. Use with caution in pets that are pregnant or nursing. Use with caution in pets also suffering from fluid depletion or hypotension. Sildenafil may interact with some other medications.
