For maintenance, the dosage should be adapted to the lowest effective dose by the veterinarian depending on the clinical response of the dog to the therapy. The dosage and schedule may have to be adjusted depending on the condition of the animal. If treatment is administered last thing at night this may result in inconvenient diuresis overnight.

Instruction on how to divide the tablet: Put the tablet on a plain surface, with its scored side facing the surface (convex face up). With the tip of forefinger, exert a slight vertical pressure on the middle of the tablet to break it in its width into halves. In order to obtain quarters, then exert a slight pressure on the middle of one half with forefinger to break it in its length.
