How long does Nelio take to work? 

It works quickly, peak levels are attained half an hour after administration. 
 

Is Nelio the same as Fortekor? 
They contain the same drug. 

 
Are there any side effects of Nelio? 
In double-blind clinical trials in dogs with congestive heart failure, the product was well tolerated with an incidence of adverse reactions lower than observed in placebo-treated dogs. 

A small number of dogs may exhibit transient vomiting, incoordination or signs of fatigue. 

In dogs with chronic kidney disease, the product may increase plasma creatinine concentrations at the start of therapy. A moderate increase in plasma creatinine concentrations following administration of ACE inhibitors is compatible with the reduction in glomerular hypertension induced by these agents,and is therefore not necessarily a reason to stop therapy in the absence of other signs. 

Is Nelio safe for dogs with kidney disease? 
If your vet, knowing your pet, prescribes it they will consider it safe but will want to monitor renal blood tests. 

 

Can Nelio be given to cats? 
Yes, it can be prescribed for cats.
