Fortekor Plus 1.25mg/2.5mg is a prescription-only veterinary medication from Elanco, supplied in packs of 60 tablets. It's used in the ongoing management of congestive heart failure in dogs and requires a current script from your vet before it can be dispensed by an Australian pharmacy.

Each tablet combines two active ingredients: benazepril hydrochloride, an ACE inhibitor that helps relax blood vessels and reduce the workload on a failing heart, and pimobendan, a positive inotrope that strengthens heart muscle contraction and further opens blood vessels. The fixed-dose combination is designed to simplify daily dosing for owners managing a dog on long-term cardiac therapy, replacing two separate tablets with one. The 1.25/2.5mg strength suits smaller dogs — always dose to your vet's prescription.

Owners typically source Fortekor Plus on repeat script for a dog already stabilised on cardiac treatment. Buying by the 60-tablet pack cuts down on refill trips and keeps a month or two of medication on hand between vet reviews.
