Great Medication.
My Chihuahua was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy 18 months ago. With Vetmedin, Enalapril, & Lasix, she would not be annoying me at 2:30 in the morning, wanting to be petted. And I would not change that for anything. The little one has been with me since January 2003. Love her, and am so very grateful for her Vet in diagnosing with ECHO he cardiac failure.

Bought the tablets for our small 11 year old dog who suffered a mild heart attack on July 8 2014, My husband and I give the tablets a large amount of credit for how well our doggie has recuperated.

I notice that you are sold out of the 1.25 bottle of vetmedin. My dog takes 3 tablets of 1.25. Can I purchase 1 bottle of the 2.5mg and cut them up. I check with my vet regarding the dosage. He said yes.. On the 2.5 he told me to give her 1 tablet in the morning:and 1/2 tab. At night. Please let me know if I can buy 1 bottle of the 2.5 mg vetmedin. I have 3 refills available on file with vetRx.?

Pimobendan - 10 mg. Or 5mg. Tablets. I was given 10mg. Tablets by my vet, to break in half. These were NOT chewable. Do you sell non chewable? On your website I only see chewable being sold.?

Currently, Vetmedin is only manufactured as a half-scored, chewable tablet.

does it come in a larger amount like 100 pills for the 1.25mg and would cost be less than buying two 50 count bottles my dog chilli takes 3 a day and 50 only lasts 15 days seems like ordering every 2 weeks to keep supply available?
-
At this time, the manufacturer only produces Vetmedin in 50 count bottles. This medication does come in the 2.5mg tablets which are half scored. You may consider speaking with your veterinarian about your dog’s prescription. If your dog is currently prescribed 1.25mg three times daily, splitting a 2.5 mg tablet in half would provide 1.25mg doses. Instead of using 3 whole tablets daily, you would use 1.5 whole tablets (3 half tablets) daily by splitting each dose. This method would make each bottle last longer, but you will need to discuss this option first with your dog’s veterinarian.

My dog is prescribed 2.5mg 3 times/day. That's 90 pills a month. Why do you limit customers to 1 bottle of 50/month when you can see the prescription and know that's not enough for a month? Is there any exceptions to your restrictions??
-
Vetmedin (pimobendan) is currently distributed to pharmacies and veterinary clinics via an allocation system. We limit customers to 1 bottle of 50 tablets per month so that the product is available to as many pets as possible. For further information specific to the allocation, please contact our pharmacy staff via email at [email protected] Other contact information is available on our site at: https://www.vetrxdirect.com/contact
