Methimazole Tablets, 5 mg

As felines enter their middle and senior years, they may develop a condition known as hyperthyroidism. This disorder is characterized by a rise in the cat's metabolic rate due to an excess of thyroid hormones. If your cat begins to experience sudden weight loss, increased thirst and urination, diarrhea, excessive shedding, and/or heightened activity, it is important to consult your veterinarian and consider Rx Methimazole as a potential solution. This oral medication, prescribed by veterinary professionals, is designed specifically to manage hyperthyroidism in cats and alleviate accompanying symptoms, such as vomiting and weight loss.

Possible Side Effects

Side effects usually occur during the first three months of treatment. They may include loss of appetite, vomiting, and lethargy. These typically occur within the first two weeks of treatment and may eventually stop even with continuation of treatment. Less common side effects are yellowing of the gums, skin, or eyes (jaundice) which may signify liver problems. Itching of the face, scratching, or increased bleeding tendencies may occur.

Recommended Dosage

Use as directed by your veterinarian.
