FAQs
Can I use Prilactone Next as the only treatment for heart failure?
No, Prilactone Next is formulated for use in combination with standard therapy, including diuretic support as deemed necessary by your veterinarian.
How do I determine the correct dosage?
Dosage is strictly determined by your veterinarian based on your dog's weight, the severity of the heart condition, and the presence of other medications.
Is this medication safe for puppies?
Prilactone Next is indicated for dogs with degenerative mitral valve disease, which is typically an age-related condition in adult dogs. Consult your vet for pediatric cardiac concerns.
How long will my dog need to take this medication?
Because degenerative mitral valve disease is a chronic, progressive condition, this medication is generally intended for long-term daily management.
Are there side effects?
Like any cardiac medication, potential side effects can occur. Please monitor your dog for lethargy, loss of appetite, or digestive upset and report these to your veterinarian immediately.
Troubleshooting
Dog refuses to take the tablet
Try hiding the tablet inside a small amount of palatable wet food or a specialized pill-delivery treat, but consult your vet first to ensure it does not interfere with absorption.
Missing a dose
Administer the missed dose as soon as you remember, unless it is nearly time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure efficacy, the tablets should be administered strictly as directed by your veterinarian. They are intended for use alongside standard therapy. Keep the tablets in their original packaging to ensure potency, and store them in a cool, dry place out of reach of children and other pets. Because this is a chronic treatment, maintaining a consistent daily schedule is essential. Always consult your vet before adding new supplements or medications to your dog's daily regimen, as potential interactions with other cardiac drugs must be assessed.
