Sildenafil for pets

Sildenafil is used to treat certain heart conditions in dogs. Sildenafil works by relaxing the muscles in the blood vessels' walls, allowing for increased blood flow. This can help treat dogs with pulmonary hypertension, a condition in which the blood pressure in the lungs is too high. Sildenafil can also treat cats with cardiomyopathy, a condition which causes the heart muscle to weaken.

According to recent studies, Sildenafil may also be effective in treating megaesophagus in dogs. Megaesophagus is a condition where the oesophagus becomes enlarged and causes difficulty swallowing food. Sildenafil helps by relaxing the muscles of the oesophagal wall, allowing food to pass through more easily.

Always consult with a veterinarian before giving sildenafil to a dog. It is also a prescription-only medicine (POM), so a vet prescription is required to get the treatment.

Sildenafil is the same drug found in the treatment named Viagra, used to treat erectile dysfunction in humans. The human treatment is also known by its generic name and active ingredient: Sildenafil, the same treatment prescribed by veterinarians to dogs and cats. The dosage will be different for an animal than a human, and treatment should only be given to the animal for the prescribed reason by the vet.

The dosage of Sildenafil for dogs and cats will vary depending on the pet's weight, condition and other medications they are taking. It is important to follow your vet’s instructions in order to ensure that the correct dosage is administered. The most common dosages for sildenafil range from 25mg-50mg per day, divided into two or three doses.

Sildenafil should be given to your dog or cat as directed by a veterinarian. The general advice when giving Sildenafil to your pet is to crush the tablets and administer them directly into your pet's mouth or mixed with their food

Sildenafil can cause side effects in pets such as low appetite, vomiting, and diarrhoea as well as skin flushing in the groin area. If your pet is taking Sildenafil, closely monitor them for any signs of side effects and contact your veterinarian if they occur.

Sildenafil is a prescription medication, so it can only be obtained from a veterinarian when used to treat a pet. Once a prescription has been issued, Sildenafil can be purchased from either the clinic or a pharmacy. Online pharmacies such as HealthExpress accepts vet prescriptions, so you can order your pet's Sildenafil treatment conveniently online at an affordable price.

The cost of Sildenafil for your pet will depend on the required dose, quantity, and where you buy it from. As Sildenafil is a medicine used to treat humans, you can typically get it for a better price if you buy it from a pharmacy than if you get it from the vet. Online pharmacies advertise their prices, and you typically won't find it cheaper than from an online provider, such as HealthExpress.
