Product Information
Full details
Amodip Chewable Tablets for Cats are a specialized, prescription-only medication (POM-V) designed for cat owners managing systemic hypertension in their feline companions. The key benefit of this product is its specially formulated palatable flavor, which significantly reduces the stress often associated with medicating cats, allowing for easier administration either directly or hidden in a small portion of food. A primary caveat is that this medication must be used strictly under veterinary guidance, as it is contraindicated for cats with specific health conditions such as severe hepatic failure, cardiogenic shock, or severe aortic stenosis.

FAQs
Can I crush the tablet?

What should I do if I miss a dose?
Administer the missed dose as soon as you remember, unless it is nearly time for the next scheduled dose. Do not double up on doses.
Does this medication cure hypertension?

How should I store these tablets?
Keep them in a cool, dry place, and because of the flavoring, ensure they are stored securely out of reach of all animals to prevent accidental ingestion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before beginning treatment, ensure you have a clear dosing schedule provided by your veterinarian. Store the tablets in their original packaging in a secure, cool, and dry location. Because these tablets are flavored, they may be attractive to other household pets; always store the container inside a locked cupboard or high shelf where no animals can access them. Do not share this medication with other cats or animals in the home, as it is dosed specifically for the patient under veterinary care.
