Semintra Oral Solution for Cats - 30ml
Semintra Oral is the latest medication used to treat cats with Chronic Kidney Disease. 30ml. PRESCRIPTION REQUIRED
Semintra is a veterinary medicine used in cats to reduce proteinuria (protein in the urine) and to treat high blood pressure. Proteinuria can occur with chronic (long-term) kidney disease in cats, a common disease in elderly cats characterised by a progressive deterioration of kidney function over time. High blood pressure is also a long term problem of ageing cats which can occur with chronic kidney disease, hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid gland) and other conditions.

The active substance in Semintra, telmisartan, is an ‘angiotensin II receptor antagonist’, which means that it blocks the action of a hormone in the body called angiotensin II. Angiotensin II is a powerful vasoconstrictor (a substance that constricts blood vessels). By blocking the receptor to which angiotensin II normally attaches, telmisartan stops the hormone having an effect, allowing the blood vessels to expand. This allows blood pressure to drop with a resulting decrease in protein in the urine which may slow down progression of kidney disease.
Semintra is an oral treatment for cats with chronic kidney disease, which is used to lower protein in the urine (proteinuria). Semintra also helps lower high blood pressure.
