Ingredients

• Primary Ingredient: Methimazole 5mg

This medication contains only Methimazole, a potent anti-thyroid agent, specifically formulated to reduce excessive hormone production in cats.

How Does Methimazole Work?

• Methimazole works by inhibiting the thyroid gland's ability to synthesize thyroid hormones, which helps keep the body’s metabolism normal. 
• It directly blocks the enzyme that facilitates the production of T3 and T4 hormones, preventing hyperthyroid symptoms like weight loss, irritability, and excessive hunger from worsening.

Dosage and Administration

Always consult your veterinary for exact dosage instructions depending on your pet's condition.

Frequency

Your veterinarian will monitor your cat’s response and adjust the frequency accordingly. Regular blood tests may be necessary to ensure optimal dosage.

Consistency

Consistency is critical when administering Methimazole. Ensure the medication is given at the same time every day to maintain stable hormone levels. Irregular dosing can lead to fluctuations in thyroid levels and worsen your cat's condition.

Common side effects of Methimazole include:

• Vomiting
• Reduced appetite
