Hyperthyroidism in cats can cause symptoms such as increased thirst, increased appetite and weight loss. If your cat is experiencing these symptoms then it could be that they have an overactive thyroid.

This medication helps to stabilise thyroid production either as part of a long-term treatment plan for hyperthyroidism or prior to surgical thyroidectomy (removal of all or part of the thyroid gland).

The tablets are designed to be taken orally and come in strengths of 1.25mg, 2.5mg and 5mg. The strength required will be determined based on the size of your cat and the exact details of their condition or surgery. In most cases, this medication will stabilise thyroid production in 3 weeks.
