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.

Labeled Wrong!?
I am in a panic because I thought I was getting the transdermal kind of medicine, but my latest tube says "for oral use only" on it. I'm pretty sure it is just labelled wrong but it sure makes me uncomfortable about it - plus many of these reviews say they are giving orally. It's very unclear! I am going to continue putting in his ear as directed.

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.
