My white Scotty Terrier, 35 pds. Has a urine protein creatinine of 2.4. What medication would be helpful to decrease this? Roxie dog also has borderline high BP. Lisinopril or Rafampin? I am an RN and I am familiar with these medications. I will
If a UTI has been ruled out by urine culture, then protein losing nephropathy can be suspected as the cause, and an ACEI such as enalapril or benazepril can be used. I believe there is a newer medication on the US market for this purpose in dogs, but I can't remember it now! I just learned about it at a lecture a few months ago. I don't typically treat borderline high BP, but if the PLN is real then the ACEI will certain help lower the BP to decrease protein loss. Beta blockers would be the next step, but I haven't needed to use them personally.

can lasinopril replace elanapril ....? or what human drug is the same as elanipril??
Enalapril is the generic form of this medication and it is the same as the enalapril used in humans. Lasinopril is a similar drug, is in the same class, and has a similar mode of action. Ofterntimes it is doctor preference which one is prescribed but occasionally there are reasons to choose one over the other. Enalapril is more commonly used in veterinary medicine. So yes, you could potentially switch to lasinopril but I would definitely speak with the prescribing veterinarian first to make sure there are no specific reasons to avoid it. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Boop by Petco. Best of luck.

my dog was taking enacard for leaky heart valve but im disabled and can't afford 80$ a month for it... is there a cheaper generic kind i can get for him?? hes my buddy and i love him so much... please help..
Yes, there is a generic called enalapril maleate. You will need to get it from your vet. Just ask them and they can either order it for you, write you a prescription or call it in to a pharmacy for you. It should be much more cost effective. http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=535 Hope this helps. Best wishes.

What blood pressure medication do you recommend to control the cough of an enlarged heart?
There are several different medications that can be used to treat blood pressure or heart disease as they do not always go together. A range of medications can include an ace inhibitor (enalapril, benazepril), a diuretic (furosemide), and Vetmedin if having heart failure.
