Freossi Frepico Tablet
No return & Exchange Available
FREPICO-5 is a comprehensive cardiovascular support supplement combining pimobendan with Vitamin E and Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) in palatable chewable tablets for dogs and cats. This formula may help support heart function in pets with cardiac conditions by providing inotropic support (strengthening heart contractions) along with antioxidant protection. The chewable format improves compliance, making it easier to administer to pets requiring long-term cardiac management.
Dosage Guidelines for Dogs and Cats
Always follow your veterinarian's specific instructions. General recommendations may include:
- Dosage: Based on pet's weight and cardiac condition severity
- Typical Range: 0.25-0.3 mg/kg of pimobendan, twice daily
- Administration: Give approximately 1 hour before meals for optimal absorption
- Timing: Administer morning and evening doses 12 hours apart
- Chewable Form: Most pets accept readily; can be mixed with small treat if needed
- Duration: Long-term use as prescribed for chronic heart disease management
Your veterinarian will determine the precise dosing based on diagnostic findings including echocardiography and clinical assessment.
