Pimobendan is a drug used in veterinary medicine to treat congestive heart failure in dogs. It is a calcium sensitizer, meaning it increases the sensitivity of the heart muscle to calcium, allowing it to contract more strongly and pump more blood. It also has vasodilatory effects, meaning it relaxes the blood vessels, allowing more blood to flow through them. Pimobendan is a relatively new drug, having been approved for use in the United States in 2006. The Pimobendan market is a small but growing segment of the animal pharmaceuticals industry. It is primarily composed of companies that manufacture and distribute the drug, as well as those that provide services related to its use. These services include veterinary consultations, diagnostic testing, and patient monitoring. Some of the companies in the Pimobendan market include Boehringer Ingelheim, Merck Animal Health, Elanco Animal Health, and Virbac. Show Less Read more
