Amlodipine - Hypertension Support Compounded Oral Tablets

First-Line Blood Pressure Control for Cats

High blood pressure in cats is a silent threat — often undetected until it causes sudden blindness, neurological episodes, or accelerated kidney damage. Amlodipine Besylate is the veterinarian's first-choice calcium channel blocker for managing systemic hypertension in cats, safely lowering blood pressure and protecting vital organs before irreversible damage occurs.

How Amlodipine Works

Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes and widens the smooth muscle of blood vessel walls, reducing peripheral vascular resistance. The result is a measurable, sustained reduction in blood pressure — relieving strain on the heart, kidneys, eyes, and brain.

Why Blood Pressure Control Matters in Cats

Hypertension is common in senior cats, frequently secondary to chronic kidney disease (CKD), hyperthyroidism, or cardiac disease. Left untreated, it can cause:

• Sudden blindness — retinal detachment or hemorrhage from uncontrolled hypertension
• Neurological signs — seizures, disorientation, or stroke-like episodes
• Accelerated kidney damage — high intraglomerular pressure worsens CKD progression
• Cardiac strain — increased workload on the heart muscle over time

Why Choose Amlodipine?

• First-line veterinary recommendation — widely regarded as the gold-standard antihypertensive for cats
• Proven efficacy — reliable, consistent blood pressure reduction in feline patients
• Compounded oral tablet — precisely dosed for cats, easy to administer daily
• Organ-protective — reduces hypertensive damage to kidneys, eyes, heart, and brain
• Well-tolerated — established safety profile for long-term use in cats

Recommended Use

Amlodipine is a prescription medication. Dosage is determined by your veterinarian based on your cat's blood pressure readings and underlying condition. Regular blood pressure monitoring is essential during treatment to ensure optimal control and adjust dosing as needed.
