Becordil is a medication indicated for dogs, used to inhibit the action of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). Its active ingredient is benazepril hydrochloride, which acts by preventing the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, reducing the synthesis of aldosterone, which prevents vasoconstriction and the retention of sodium and water by the kidneys. This makes it effective in the treatment of heart conditions and hypertension in dogs. The medication is administered exclusively orally, with a recommended dose of 0.5 mg/kg every 24 hours, adjusted according to the animal's weight. Treatment is continuous and must be monitored by a veterinarian to assess the appropriate duration. Becordil is sold in 5 mg tablets, usually in packages of 30 units, and is indicated for dogs of all breeds and sizes, including adults and seniors.
