Product Information

Full details

Felimazole Tablets are specifically formulated for feline patients diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, serving as a primary medical intervention to stabilize thyroid function before surgical procedures such as a thyroidectomy. This medication is ideal for cat owners working under veterinary guidance to manage hormonal imbalances, though it requires consistent daily administration and regular blood monitoring to ensure therapeutic success and safety.

FAQs

Can I give Felimazole with food?

Yes, administering the tablet with a small amount of food can help improve acceptance and reduce the likelihood of digestive upset.

What should I do if I miss a dose?

Administer the missed dose as soon as you remember, unless it is close to the next scheduled dose. Never give two doses at once.

How long will my cat need to take this?

The duration is determined by your veterinarian, typically continuing until thyroid levels are stabilized for surgery or as part of long-term management.

Is this medication safe for pregnant cats?

No, Felimazole is not recommended for pregnant or lactating cats. Consult your veterinarian regarding alternative management strategies.

Does this cure hyperthyroidism?

Felimazole manages the symptoms and hormone levels but does not cure the underlying condition. Surgical removal of the thyroid or other therapies may be required.

Troubleshooting

Cat refuses to swallow the tablet

Consult your veterinarian about using a 'pill pocket' or a specialized pet pill gun to assist with administration.

Visible side effects like lethargy or loss of appetite

Stop administration immediately and contact your veterinarian to discuss potential dosage adjustments or alternative treatments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Felimazole is a prescription-only medication and must only be used under the direct supervision of a licensed veterinarian. Storage should be in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children or other pets.

Care instructions include:

Routine Monitoring: Regular hematology and biochemistry panels are required to check thyroid (T4) levels.
Consistency: Do not skip doses; if a dose is missed, contact your veterinarian for instructions.
Handling: Tablets should not be broken or crushed unless explicitly instructed by a vet, as this can affect the controlled release or dosage accuracy.
Safety: Wash your hands thoroughly after handling the tablets, as it is a potent medication.
