Imidapril
別名: Prilium
**Purpose:** Imidapril helps your pet's heart pump more easily by relaxing the blood vessels. It is also used to protect the kidneys from losing too much protein in certain kidney diseases. **Administration:** Give exactly as prescribed by your veterinarian. It is typically given as a liquid once a day. **What to watch for:** Contact your veterinarian if your pet seems unusually tired, weak, dizzy, or loses their appetite. These could be signs that their blood pressure has dropped too low. **Monitoring:** Your vet will need to check your pet's blood pressure and run blood tests periodically to ensure their kidneys are handling the medication well and that their potassium levels remain safe.
劑量必須由獸醫按你寵物的個別情況決定。切勿在沒有獸醫指導下給予人類藥物或其他寵物的處方藥。

藥物相互作用
- Spironolactone: Could result in hyperkalemia, though in practice, spironolactone and ACE inhibitors appear safe to use concurrently.
- Potassium supplements: Increased risk of hyperkalemia.
- NSAIDs: Increased risk of nephrotoxicity and decreased clinical efficacy of the ACE inhibitor.
- Diuretics: Increased risk of hypotension.
- Vasodilators (e.g., anesthetic agents, antihypertensives): Increased risk of hypotension.
