Semintra 10mg/ml is a new medication used in the treatment of treatment of systemic hypertension in cats.

While hypertension can be a common problem in older cats, the condition can be difficult to diagnose.
Hypertension can affect many parts of the body before detection and is strongly associated with target organ damage:

• Eyes
• Heart and vascular system
• Brain
• Kidneys

Without treatment, this silent disease can lead to serious illness and, sometimes, death.
Most often develops as secondary hypertension to diseases such as CKD and hyperthyroidism.

SEMINTRA is a highly targeted treatment

Telmisartan, the active substance in SEMINTRA, is an ARB, a class of medication that modulates the RAAS by selectively blocking receptors in the effector step of the RAAS. Unlike angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEis), ARBs do not block the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II by angiotensin-converting enzyme in the RAAS cascade, thereby also blocking the activation of some of the receptor types with beneficial effects. And, unlike a calcium channel blocker, a class of pharmaceuticals that block the influx of calcium into cardiac and smooth muscle cells through calcium channels and potentially activate the RAAS, ARBs help to manage the RAAS.
