Felimazole 5mg/ml 100 ml

Veterinary Analysis of FELIMAZOLE 5MG/ML 100 ML

Felimazole 5 mg/ml oral solution is a veterinary medicine specifically formulated for cats diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, a common endocrine condition in older felines. Its liquid formulation allows for precise dosage adjustments and improves treatment adherence, especially in cats that do not tolerate tablets. It is the preferred option when continuous, accurate, and safe monitoring of thyroid hormone levels is required.

Analytical Composition and Actives

• Active principle: Thiamazol (Methimazole) – 5 mg/ml
• Excipients: Glycerol, citric acid, sodium benzoate, purified water
• Presentation: 100 ml bottle with graduated dosing syringe

Thiamazole is a thionamide derivative that blocks the synthesis of thyroid hormones by inhibiting thyroid peroxidase, thereby reducing the production of T3 and T4.

Dosage and Correct Administration

The recommended starting dose is 0,5 mg/kg every 12 hours, which is equivalent to 0,1 ml per kg of body weight twice daily. This should be adjusted according to serum T4 levels and the animal's clinical response after 2–3 weeks of treatment.

Method of administration:

• Shake the bottle before each use.
• Use the dosing syringe provided.
• Administer directly into the mouth or mixed with a small amount of wet food.

Practical example: A 4 kg cat will require 0,4 ml every 12 hours, adjustable according to clinical control.
