DESCRIPTION: SEMINTRA contains Telmisartan, the only medication approved by the FDA to control hypertension in cats. This easy-to-administer, prescription liquid formula is intended to offer effective and safe long-term high blood pressure control. The convenient dosing syringe makes administration easy and accurate. Feline hypertension can be hard to treat, and when it's not diagnosed and treated, it can affect vital organs (such as the heart, brain, eyes, and kidneys). This medication is an effective but simple solution for cats and their parents.
Key Benefits:
Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) boast a target, unique mode of action, which specifically works to block dangerous vasoconstrictive effects of the RAAS (renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system). This medication works fast to lower feline blood pressure, offering clinical results within just 2 weeks. It is effective in cats who have secondary or primary hypertension, and it is proven effective and safe.
Formulated For: For use in cats

Thereafter, the recommended dosage rate is 2 mg per kg (0.91 mg per pound) once per day.

Administer with the included dosing syringe, which fits onto the bottle and is marked in 0.1 mL increments. Round the dose to the closest 0.1 mL.
