Felimazole Coated Tablets (methimazole) are indicated for the treatment of hyperthyroidism in cats.
Side effects usually occur during the first three months of treatment. They may include loss of appetite, vomiting, and lethargy. These typically occur within the first two weeks of treatment and may eventually stop even with continuation of treatment. Less common side effects are yellowing of the gums, skin, or eyes (jaundice) which may signify liver problems. Itching of the face, scratching, or increased bleeding tendencies may occur.
Do not use in cats with hypersensitivity to methimazole, carbimazole or the excipient, polyethylene glycol. Do not use in cats with primary liver disease, renal failure, autoimmune diseases, hematological disorders or coagulopathies.
Use of Felimazole Tablets in cats with renal dysfunction should be carefully evaluated. Reversal of hyperthyroidism may be associated with decreased filtration rate and a decline in renal function, revealing underlying renal disease.

Methimazole
Use this medication as directed by your veterinarian.
Store at controlled room temperature 77°F with excursions between 59°-86°F permitted. Keep the container tightly closed in order to protect from moisture.
Cats with hyperthyroidism have a thyroid gland that is producing excessive amounts of thyroid hormones. This causes a dramatic increase in the body's metabolic rate.
Felimazole Coated Tablets contain the active ingredient methimazole and are given to your cat every day to block the production of thyroid hormones.
Follow the instructions given by your veterinarian. Felimazole Coated Tablets are best given directly to your cat, but the small, sugar-coated tablets can also be hidden in the food.
Speak to your veterinarian. Do not give a double dose next time. If your cat is due to have a monitoring blood test within a couple of days of missing a tablet, make sure you let your veterinarian know as it could affect the blood results.
We started him on this prescription and almost immediately he stopped vomiting. It was a noticeable and overnight change in his quality of life and now after a couple of months on this drug, he has gained a pound and no longer throws up. Does it's job and made him a happier kitty!
Giving to my hyperthyroid kitty. I wrap it up in a little low soduim boiled ham.she takes it will no problem. Much better option than the uncoated and easy to tell with the pink color if swallowed. Easy to break in half with pill splitter. Did not agree with my other kitty so switched to transdermal
My Rx was fine enough. It is CHEWY that is star! They called my vet to verify the prescription, then fulfilled it quickly at a much cheaper price than my vet's office offered. And upon request they even offered suggestions for a new treat for my cat. Customer service is superb at Chewy and it is open 24/7! Now that is amazing!
When you need your pet's medications to arrive very quickly, Chewy is the place. The company is friendly and efficient.
Good price with quick shipping. Thank you Chewy for helping me care for my pets more affordably.
Outstanding, all the way around, keep up the good work
Chewy charged about $8 for a 30 day supply and my vet sold it to me for $30. Do your research.
One of my cats takes this for a thyroid condition. So far, she's done well on it. And Chewy's pricing is more reasonable than my regular Veterinarian.
I was buying the generic methimazole and my cat's T-4 was not going down. After a few weeks on Felimazole, her T-4 went from 14 to 3. To be fair, the vet did adjust it to a slightly higher dosage, but I can't help but wonder if switching to Felimazole from the generic helped improve her number. I will stick to Felimazole. The pills are also smaller, which makes it easier.
I almost fell outta my seat when I saw the price of this med in comparison to what the vet had been charging. Hands down, an excellent choice.
