Prilactone Next is used in combination with standard therapy (including diuretic support, where necessary) for the treatment of congestive heart failure caused by valvular regurgitation in dogs.
Prilactone Next is known as a potassium-sparing diuretic and is sometimes used in combination with other diuretics suct as frusemide if there is concern regarding low potassium levels. However, another important reason for using prilactone is for the beneficial effects that it has upon cardiac remodelling. As the heart tissue becomes diseased, (e.g through problems with the valves), the cells making up the heart muscle (myocardium) can undergo changes that make them less capable of performing their normal function - this change is known as fibrosis. Prilactone reduces fibrosis and has been shown to improve and extend the quality of life of dogs with heart failure that is caused by mitral valve disease.
