Rx Felimazole 5 mg x 100 tablets
Felimazole (methimazole) coated tablets are used for the treatment of hyperthyroidism in cats, a condition most often diagnosed in senior cats. Feline hyperthyroidism is caused by excess production of thyroid hormone in the thyroid gland, which can lead to symptoms such as weight loss, increased thirst and urination, vomiting, and excess activity. This medication helps normalize thyroid hormone levels, improving your cat’s health and comfort.
