FAQs

Can I split the 10mg Vidalta tablet if my cat needs a smaller dose?

No, you must not split or crush Vidalta tablets. They are formulated as controlled-release, and damaging the coating will alter how the medication is absorbed.

How often does my cat need blood tests while on Vidalta?

Your veterinarian will establish a monitoring schedule, usually involving blood tests after a few weeks of starting treatment and at regular intervals thereafter.

What should I do if I miss a dose?

Administer the dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose. Do not double the dose.

Are there different strengths of Vidalta?

Yes, Vidalta is also available in 15mg tablets for cases requiring a higher dosage, as determined by your veterinarian.

Is this medication safe for kittens?

Vidalta is indicated for middle-aged to older cats diagnosed with hyperthyroidism; it is not intended for use in kittens.

Does my cat need to stay on this for life?

Hyperthyroidism is a chronic condition, and most cats will require long-term management; discuss your cat's specific prognosis with your vet.

Troubleshooting

Cat refuses to take the tablet

Try concealing the tablet inside a small amount of palatable wet food or a specialized pill pocket, ensuring the cat consumes the entire dose.

Noticeable lethargy or change in behavior

Contact your veterinarian immediately to assess if the dosage requires adjustment based on thyroid blood level results.

Vomiting shortly after administration

Consult your veterinarian to determine if the medication should be given with a larger meal or if the administration time needs to be adjusted.
