Hyperthyroidism Treatment for cats.
Overview
Felimazole Tablets are a highly effective and veterinarian-recommended medication designed to treat hyperthyroidism in cats.

Felimazole (methimazole) helps to manage this condition by reducing the production of these hormones, improving your cat's quality of life.

Felimazole tablets are available in various strengths (2.5 mg and 5 mg) to cater to your cat's specific needs. Always follow your veterinarian's prescribed dosage instructions. Typically, the initial dose is 2.5 mg administered every 12 hours. Your vet may adjust the dosage based on your cat's response to the treatment.
