Semintra Oral Solution for Cats - 100ml
Semintra for Cats 100ml is a veterinary oral solution containing telmisartan. It is used in cats with chronic kidney disease (CKD) when the kidneys are allowing an abnormal amount of protein to leak into the urine. This protein loss is called proteinuria. Managing proteinuria matters because it can be associated with faster progression of kidney damage in some cats. Your vet will diagnose CKD using blood and urine tests and may recommend Semintra as part of a longer-term management plan.
Semintra is supplied as a liquid so it can be measured accurately for each cat’s body weight. The 100ml bottle is often chosen when ongoing daily dosing is expected, but the most appropriate pack size depends on the prescribed dose and your vet’s instructions.
How Semintra works
Telmisartan acts on a hormone pathway called the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS). The RAAS influences blood pressure and blood flow through the kidneys. In CKD, this system can contribute to increased pressure within the kidney’s microscopic filters (the glomeruli). Higher pressure can push more protein through the filter and into the urine.
Telmisartan blocks the angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor. By blocking this pathway, Semintra can help reduce pressure in the glomeruli and lower the amount of protein that passes into the urine. The aim is to reduce ongoing strain on the kidneys. Semintra does not cure CKD, but it can support kidney care where proteinuria is present.
