Cardiovascular
70 cardiovascular drugs indexed in the ExoticRx formulary. Each drug page lists species-specific dose ranges, available routes, and primary-source citations.
Clinical context
Cardiac therapy in companion animals turns on disease type: ACE inhibitors for chronic valvular disease, pimobendan for systolic dysfunction, β-blockers (atenolol) and calcium-channel blockers (diltiazem, amlodipine) for tachyarrhythmias and hypertension. Species-specific considerations include sensitivity to digoxin in cats and the role of clopidogrel in feline thromboprophylaxis.
