Felimazole (methimazole) Coated Tablets for Cats

If your cat has an overactive thyroid gland, your veterinarian may prescribe FDA-veterinary approved Felimazole to help stabilize your cat’s condition. While Felimazole can’t stop the condition, it will help your cat feel better and improve her quality of life

• Manages symptoms of hyperthyroidism in cats
• FDA approved
• Small, coated tablets for easy dosing

Hyperthyroidism, or overactive thyroid, in cats causes weight loss, increased appetite, excessive thirst, hair loss, and more. While there is no permanent treatment for hyperthyroidism, your veterinarian can help your cat feel better by regulating the thyroid with prescription Felimazole. The active ingredient in each small, coated pill is methimazole, which reduces the amount of the thyroid hormone your cat’s thyroid gland produces.  The result is a healthier cat and a better quality of life.
