Felimazole (Methimazole) is used to control, manage and treat feline hyperthyroidism, a condition in which the thyroid produces too much thyroid hormone, resulting in a reduction in weight, an increased desire to consume fluids, frequent urination, restlessness, palpable goiter and other conditions which have not been listed here.
This condition is a common endocrine disorder that is often seen in cats which are older or middle aged, however, it may sometimes occur in younger cats. Although it cannot be cured, proper treatment can help to manage and control the symptoms. This medicine inhibits the production of thyroid hormones, so as to allow the levels of these hormones to return to normal.
Felimazole (Methimazole) comes as tablets, which the pet owner must give directly to the cat. Full dosage instructions will be provided by the vet if your animal is diagnosed with hyperthyroidism (after medical tests) and prescribed this medicine as a treatment. Vets sometimes prescribe a starting dose of 2.5mg, administered at 12 hour intervals.
After 3 weeks of continuous treatment, tests will be conducted by the vet, and the dosage will be adjusted accordingly. The maximum dosage that vets prescribe is 20mg per day (as two divided doses of 10mg). Frequent monitoring will be required by cats undergoing treatment with this medicine.
Felimazole (Methimazole) can sometimes cause side effects, most of which are noticed within the first 3 months of starting treatment. Examples can include:
Closely observe your cat if it is being treated with this medicine, and take it to a vet as soon as possible if any side effects occur.
Do not give your cat more medicine than prescribed by the vet.
These tablets are only for use in cats.
