1.4 Coenzyme Q10: Improve myocardial function, lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure.

2. Treatment

2.1 Heart aspect: improve the cardiac contractility of animals, treat dilated heart disease, improve cardiac insufficiency, protect blood vessels, and prevent thrombosis.

2.2 Liver: mainly for fatty liver, cholestasis, promote bile secretion, and then improve liver function.

2.3 Other aspects: lower cholesterol, enhance immunity, strengthen muscles.

3. Dosage and usage: Below 10kg, 2 times a day, 1 tablet each time.

Six. Liver Tailor glucuronide

1. Function

Pharmacological effects: After entering the body, this product can be combined with toxic substances containing hydroxyl or carboxyl groups to form low-toxic or non-toxic conjugates that are excreted in urine, protecting the liver and detoxifying.

After the drug enters the body, the lactone ring is opened under the catalysis of the enzyme and converted into glucuronic acid, which is one of the important detoxification substances in the body.

2. Note:

The application of hepatic Tailor in cats is basically ineffective, but it will increase the metabolic burden of the liver.

Canine can be used for acute and chronic hepatitis, food or drug toxic hepatitis for liver protection and detoxification adjuvant therapy.

3. Dosage: 50-200mg/time for dogs, orally, 2-3 times a day.

100-200mg/time, intramuscularly or intravenously, once a day.
