Felimazole treats feline hyperthyroidism, a commonly diagnosed disease in senior cats. The disease results in excess levels of thyroid hormone being produced in the thyroid gland. Symptoms can include weight loss, increased thirst and urination, vomiting, and excess activity.
Uses
Felimazole Coated Tablets (methimazole) are indicated for the treatment of hyperthyroidism in cats.
Possible Side Effects
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.
Drug & Food Interactions
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.
Precautions
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.

I was very pleased with the ease of ordering this. My cat was recently diagnosed with thyroid disorder and started taking this. He is doing very well. Thanks to Chewy it is making it easy to deal with, I appreciate it.

This was less expensive than ordering at the vet. Easy process, convenient and quick.
by Pete
Chewy is really good and they understand how much we love our pets.

Great price for this medication that my 17 year old cat was just prescribed by her vet. It’s half the price as the identical medication I got at the vet clinic, and I don’t have to drive 35 minutes to pick it up each month. I love the convenience of getting it delivered right to my mailbox.

Same as what I get from my local vet, but more convenient and delivered right to my door.

Our little old man has been on these pills for a while. Easy enough to hide in food or just give to him separately. He has to take 2 a day. They are also way cheaper with chewy pharmacy than from our vets office.

And easier then cutting pills in half. My cat seems to prefer these as well.
by Lily
My cat would have wasted away and died without this drug. She gets two half pills per day without side effects. She even gained and maintains a healthy weight.

it works great for our baby and it is so much cheaper from Chewy than at her vet’s office.
