Semintra Kidney Aid for Cats

	After many years together, finding out that your cat has chronic kidney disease can be very distressing. The good news is that there are many reasons to remain positive. Your cat will require life-long treatment for chronic kidney disease, but many cats live happily for a number of years after diagnosis. Semintra is an oral solution that has been specifically designed for cats and contains a medicine called telmisartan. Semintra helps to reduce the amount of protein lost in your cat's urine. Losing too much protein in the urine is associated with a shorter life expectancy in cats suffering from chronic kidney disease.
Doseage and Administration: Your vet will advise you on what dose of Semintra to give to your cat. Generally once daily at a dosage of 0.25 mL/kg body weight by mouth. As Semintra is well accepted by most cats, giving it should be easy. Many cats will accept Semintra given by mouth straight from the syringe. If it is easier for you, you can also give Semintra with a small amount of food. The solution should be given using the measuring syringe provided in the package. The syringe fits onto the bottle and has a kg-body weight scale. Push down and turn cap, to open the bottle. Attach the dosing syringe to the plug-in adapter of the bottle by gently pushing. Turn the bottle/syringe upside down. Pull the plunger out until the end of the plunger corresponds to your cat's body weight in kilograms. Separate the dosing syringe from the bottle. Push the plunger to empty the contents of the syringe directly into the mouth of the cat or onto a small amount of food. Semintra starts to work very quickly. The levels of protein within your cat's urine will reduce within 7 days of starting treatment.
Active Constituents: Each mL contains 4 mg telmisartan, Ph. Eur. in a clear, colourless to yellowish viscous solution and 0.1 mg benzalkonium chloride, Ph. Eur., as a preservative.
Safety: Like all licensed veterinary medicines, Semintra has been thoroughly tested for efficacy and safety. Side-effects related to the use of Semintra are rarely observed. If you need further detail about Semintra and how to use it, please read the pack leaflet. However, if you have any concerns about your cat while they are taking Semintra, please contact your vet.
