Description

Methimazole treats hyperthyroidism in cats, a condition in which too much thyroid hormone is produced. It will not cure the disease, but will usually control it if given for the rest of the cat's life. Methimazole may also be used to protect the kidneys in dogs receiving cisplatin, an anti-cancer drug.

  • - Controls the symptoms of hyperthyroidism for an improved quality of life
  • - Treats hyperthyroidism without surgery or anesthesia
  • - Affordable per-tablet price!

Easy, low cost soultion

This is a much more cost effective method to get my cat his meds. My vet originally called in the same medication but in a cream for his ears. While it worked, his ears became crusty and he was not a fan of medicine time. Now we crush the pill and sprinkle it over a spoonful of canned food and call it done. It's also MUCH cheaper!

Yes, I recommend this product.

It takes forever to receive meds now since we can’t scan prescriptions in anymore and have to send them by snail mail. I’m still waiting…

Good value for the cost. Instructions say to give 1/4 tablet, which is nearly impossible with a pill so tiny. Should just give more pill of a lower strength.

Yes, I recommend this product.

I love the fast easy service that I get using the Petco medication system. The refills always arrive in a timely manner. And the medication is exactly what my vet prescribes, and the pills are an easy size for my kitty Twix to swallow.

Yes, I recommend this product.
