About This Item

Details

  • Lowers blood pressure by blocking the movement of calcium into the smooth muscles of the heart and blood vessels causing the blood vessels to relax and dilate (widen), which improves blood flow into the heart.
  • Works quickly in dogs within the first few hours of ingestion, but it may take up to several days for your dog�s blood pressure to improve and stabilize.
  • Treats systemic hypertension in dogs and cats and is considered a drug of choice for managing hypertension.
  • Only calcium channel blocker administered in veterinary medicine that has potent arterial dilatory effects with negligible effects on inotropy and conduction.
  • May be incorporated by veterinarians as part of a broader treatment plan when additional cardiovascular support is needed, based on the pet�s individual condition and clinical judgment.

The medication works great for my cat, but they recently changed the pill they send and it’s WAY too small to quarter (which is a pretty common cat dosage). I end up losing at least half a pill due to shattering. I’ve tried every pill splitter known to man and all I get is frustrated. Until they change the vendor, I’ll need to get this filled elsewhere for my mental health.

I received a different brand of Amlodipine this time and the pills are really small and almost impossible to cut in half as my cat’s daily dosage is 1.25 mg and the pills are 2.5 mg. I love the small size as it would be easier to do, but am looking for advice on how to halve them.

Can't cut the pills cleanly

My cat needs half a pill every morning, but the pill coating is very hard, the pill is round, and it is impossible to cut the pill cleanly in half, even with a new pill cutter. Sandoz makes a tablet that is oval, scored, and soft enough that it is easy to break the tablet in half with my fingers. Is there anyway to substitute the softer, oval-shaped pill for the one Chewy currently uses? Chewy's customer service was amazing as usual and I received the pills within only a few days of ordering them.

Chewy has changed the manufacturer they are getting Amlodopine from of which I have been buying for years. This new manufacturer, you cannot cut the pill in half. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to seek elsewhere for someone that carries a pill you can cut.

Unlike my previous order of this medication, this one came tall like a cylinder. I have to cut it into quarters for my cat so that did not work. Chewy gave me a refund and I had to buy it from my Vet in order to get it flat so I could cut it.

The chewy pharmacist issued me a new brand of pill that is 3mm in diameter. The dosage is a quarter of a pill. If any human can quarter a pill that size they deserve a medal. This is completely unprofessional and lacking any human decency.

My dog Kaza has been prescribed on this med along with Amlodipin for his blood pressure. After more than one month on this medication, his blood pressure is still high. We are going to reassess his treatment with our vet and look for alternatives. Very disappointing and seems like a total waste of time and money.
