Containing 5 mg/mL of methimazole, it provides an effective way to regulate and balance thyroid hormone levels in cats, which is crucial for managing this common endocrine disorder.

Prescription items are NON-RETURNABLE and NON-REFUNDABLE.


What Is Felanorm Oral Solution, and How Does It Help Cats?

Felanorm is an oral solution formulated with methimazole, a well-regarded medication for counteracting excessive thyroid hormone production in cats. Hyperthyroidism, prevalent in older cats, causes weight loss, increased appetite, and hyperactivity due to elevated thyroid hormone levels. Felanorm effectively targets and reduces these symptoms, offering a reliable, easy-to-administer solution for feline hyperthyroidism management.

Key Features of Felanorm Oral Solution

  • Active Ingredient: Methimazole, an antithyroid drug that inhibits thyroid hormone synthesis.
  • Concentration: 5 mg/mL for targeted dosing.
  • Administration: Oral liquid solution for ease of use.
  • Dosage Flexibility: Dosage can be tailored based on veterinary guidance.
  • Safety and Efficacy: Proven effective with veterinarian oversight.

How Should Felanorm Oral Solution Be Administered?

The recommended initial dose for Felanorm is 2.5 mg every 12 hours. After three weeks, the dose may be adjusted based on the cat’s serum total T4 (TT4) levels and clinical response. Increments of 2.5 mg may be used to achieve the desired effect, with a maximum dose of 20 mg per day (up to 10 mg in a single administration). Veterinarians should monitor bloodwork frequently to adjust the dosage accordingly, particularly for doses exceeding 10 mg daily.

What Are the Necessary Precautions and Contraindications for Felanorm?

  • Contraindications: Do not use in cats with methimazole hypersensitivity, primary liver disease, renal failure, autoimmune disease, or hematologic conditions (e.g., anemia, neutropenia).
  • Warnings: Methimazole may interfere with vitamin K, posing a bleeding risk. Also, avoid use in pregnant or lactating cats due to potential teratogenic effects.
  • Monitoring Needs: Regular veterinary checkups are essential, as methimazole can mask renal dysfunction, and serious reactions like hepatopathy or immune-mediated anemia may occur.

How Should Felanorm Oral Solution Be Stored?

Store Felanorm at room temperature (25°C/77°F), with short-term storage permitted between 15°-30°C (59°-86°F). Ensure the container is securely closed and stored away from pets and children.
