About this product

What is Methimazole Compounded?

Methimazole is used to treat hyperthyroidism in cats. It has largely replaced propylthiouracil in this treatment process since it has a lower incidence of adverse side effects. Compounding is beneficial in instances where a specific dosage is unavailable or in different forms to make it easier to dose your pet. Methimazole requires a prescription from your veterinarian.

NOTE: Methimazole for 5 mg tablets are also available.

How does Methimazole Compounded work?

Hyperthyroidism is a condition that occurs when the thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormone. Methimazole inhibits the production of thyroid hormones.

Cautions:

Blood tests must be done to check for proper dosage. Do not use in pregnant or nursing pets. Do not give your pet a live vaccine while giving methimazole. Contact your veterinarian immediately if your pet develops signs of an infection.

Methimazole Compounded Directions:

Methimazole is a prescription medication used by veterinarians to treat overactive (hyper) thyroid in cats.
Methimazole is not FDA approved for use in veterinary medicine; however, it is a commonly accepted practice for veterinarians to prescribe this medication for cats.
Methimazole is also used before thyroid surgery or radioactive iodine treatment.
Periodic blood tests will be necessary while your cat is taking this medication.

Tip:

Do not use in pregnant or nursing animals. Methimazole can be given with or without food.

What is a Compounded Medication?

A compounded medication is the creation of a particular medication to fit the unique needs of a patient, including changing the form of the medication (e.g., from a solid pill to a liquid) for a variety reasons (e.g., to make it easier to take, to avoid a non-essential ingredient, to obtain the exact dose needed, adding favorite flavors).

If you are having difficulty giving your pet prescribed medication or need to find a discontinued medication, 1-800-PetMeds offers compounding services on select medications. We can prepare the following: (1) custom strength quantities of a medication (as capsules, liquid, chewable tablets, or transdermal (absorbed through the skin); (2) dosage forms to mask bitter or unpleasant taste (such as capsules or chewable tablets that can also be flavored); (3) dosage forms to make it easier to dose your pet such as a transdermal or liquid (that can also be flavored); and (4) discontinued products such as cisapride or DES.

Makes my life so much better

My cat will fight tooth and nail against pills and she tolerated the topical medication in her ear for awhile but that didn't last long. This compound is amazing. She actually loves it and begs for it like a treat.

Changed the formula now it's horrible

I purchased the 5mg chews for years and my cat happily took them twice a day. With my last order I noticed that the pills looked different. My cat wouldn't go near it. This was such a bad move. I called and was told that they are using a different pharmacy now. I don't know why they would do this but I had to stop ordering from them and am searching around for another place to buy. Shame because I liked the company but if I'm going to struggle to get my cat to take this medicine which isn't cheap I might as well just use the pills. Disappointed.

Bad taste-

Switched from expensive to this-cat was throwing up every night, falling backwards when jumping and stopped eating. Switched back and all issues are gone

Don’t buy this

You get what you pay for-had the expensive stuff and switched to save $. He didn’t like the taste and was way more averse to this formula. He was throwing up every night, falling backwards when trying to jump and stopped eating. Switched back to the expensive stuff and all those issues disappeared! Buy the better stuff-it’s worth it

Terrible odor and apparently taste

The liquid methimazole that I received from my vet was readily accepted by my elderly cat. However, they’re not able to get it in large quantities so I had to order from Pet Meds. My cat now runs from me when he sees me coming with it and the smell is horrible. I can’t imagine having to drink it down. be on the search for another pharmacy.

Good price, cat despise's the taste

I was surprised to see that my cat seems to really hate the chicken flavor used by this pharmacy. She didn't like the more expensive methimazole compounded by her vet but she didn't hide from me or run away gagging either. Will try to use pills in actual chicken instead.

Excellent Product!

My 19 year old cat developed a Thyroid disorder a couple of years ago. He loved the 5 mg chews I was getting from the Vet, but I was going broke giving them twice per day. Thank goodness for 1800 Pet Meds!!...they are at least half the price (if not more) and the service is extremely reliable. His check ups have been great, and I would not buy his meds anywhere else!

Great price but no flavor option...

It works great and I'm happy for the liquid version as my Kitty would not do the treats or the pills. I do wish they would allow flavor choices tho instead of always tuna.
