Rx Felimazole 2.5 mg x 100 tablets
Felimazole (methimazole) coated tablets are used for the treatment of hyperthyroidism in cats, a condition commonly diagnosed in senior cats. Feline hyperthyroidism results from excess production of thyroid hormone in the thyroid gland and can cause symptoms such as weight loss, increased thirst and urination, vomiting, and excess activity. This medication helps regulate thyroid hormone levels, improving your cat’s quality of life.
