Drug & Food Interactions
The following drugs can potentially interact with Semintra®: enalapril, benazepril, corticosteroids, digoxin, insulin, NSAIDs, and spironolactone.  The safe use of Semintra® with other anti-hypertensive medications has not been evaluated. Contact your veterinarian if your pet experiences any unusual reactions when different medications are given together. 
Make sure to tell your veterinarian what other medication you are giving to your pet. Quite often your veterinarian may prescribe two different medications, and a drug interaction may be anticipated. In this case, your veterinarian may vary the dose and/or monitor your pet more closely.
