Sementra Usage And Side Effects
UpdatedMy cat is on Sementra for kidney disease. How safe is it for cats long term? Can it cause other problems (e.g. heart murmur)?

My Burmese cat is nearly 15 and has stage 3 kidney disease, my vet has put her on Semintra - will this help and does it have any side effects?
Hello Maree,
According to the Boehringer, the manufacturer, Sementra is well tolerated in most cats (more than 90% reportedly) and even at 5 fold the normal dose for 6 months there were few adverse reactions noted. Here is a list of some of the side effects that were noted.
- mild and intermittent regurgitation
- vomiting
- diarrhoea
- soft faeces
- elevated liver enzymes
- decreased red blood cell count
- lower blood pressure
After doing research I could not find any negative effects of Sementra after long periods of time.
I hope this information is helpful. You and your cat have a wonderful day.
