* **Administration:** Give this medication exactly as prescribed by your veterinarian, usually once a day. The oral liquid is generally well-accepted by most cats and can be given directly into the mouth or mixed with a small amount of food. * **Side Effects:** Watch for mild stomach upset such as vomiting, diarrhea, or regurgitation. These are usually temporary. * **Signs of Low Blood Pressure:** If your pet seems unusually lethargic, weak, or unsteady, contact your vet immediately, as this could be a sign that their blood pressure has dropped too low. * **Consistency:** Do not stop giving this medication abruptly unless instructed by your veterinarian, as it is managing a chronic condition.
