It is good clinical practice to monitor the blood pressure of cats
receiving
telmisartan which are under anaesthesia.
Due to the mode of action of the veterinary medicinal product,
transient
hypotension may occur. Symptomatic treatment, e.g. fluid therapy,
should be
provided in case of any clinical signs of hypotension.
As known from substances acting on the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone
System (RAAS), a slight decrease in red blood cell count may occur.
Red blood
cell count should be monitored during therapy. Substances acting on
the RAAS
may lead to a reduction in glomerular filtration rate and worsening
renal function
in cats with severe kidney disease. The safety and efficacy of
telmisartan in
such patients has not been investigated. When using this veterinary
medicinal
product in cats with severe kidney disease, it is advisable to monitor
renal
function (plasma creatinine concentration).
