Semintra Oral Solution for Cats is an FDA-approved treatment for hypertension in felines. Hypertension is most commonly found in older cats and can affect multiple body parts including the eyes, heart and vascular system, brain and kidney and is often difficult to diagnose.
Telmisartan
The initial dose of SEMINTRA is 1.5 mg/kg (0.68 mg/lb) orally twice daily for 14 days, followed by 2 mg/kg (0.91 mg/lb) orally once daily. The dose may be reduced by 0.5 mg/kg (0.23 mg/lb) increments to a minimum of 0.5 mg/kg (0.23 mg/lb) orally once daily to manage SEMINTRA-induced hypotension. SEMINTRA can be administered directly into the mouth, or next to or on top of a small amount of food. Do not mix into food.
SEMINTRA should be administered using the dosing syringe provided in the package. The dosing syringe fits onto the bottle and has 0.1 mL incremental marks. The dose should be rounded to the nearest 0.1 mL. After administration close the bottle tightly with the cap. Rinse the dosing syringe with water and let air dry.
If the cat vomits within 30 minutes of dosing, the cat may be re-dosed.
Speak with your veterinarian and follow your pet's prescription for specific dosing instructions for your pet.
