Methimazole Transdermal Compounded 50mg/ml 1ml Syringe
Prescription Required Use As Directed: Sold Per Syringe
Indications: Methimazole Transdermal is the same medication found in Methimazole tablets, but has the ability to be absorbed through the pet's skin as opposed to giving an oral preparation. Methimazole is used to treat overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) in cats. Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormone. Methimazole inhibits the production of thyroid hormones. Blood tests are required to determine and monitor proper dosage.
Caution: Routine blood tests must be done to check for proper dosage. Do not use if your pet is pregnant or nursing. Do not give your pet a live vaccine while giving methimazole. Contact your veterinarian immediately if your pet develops signs of an infection. If your pet misses its scheduled dose, administer as soon as your remember. If it is close to the next scheduled dose, do not double the next dose, administer as prescribed.
Drug Interactions: Inform your veterinarian if your pet is taking theophylline (Theo-Dur), warfarin (Coumadin), digoxin (Lanoxin), a beta blocker such as atenolol (Tenormin), metoprolol (Lopressor), or propranolol (Inderal). Drugs other than those listed may also interact with Methimazole. Consult with your veterinarian or pharmacist before giving any prescription or over the counter medicines.
Side Effects: If any of the following serious side effects occur, discontinue giving methimazole and seek emergency veterinary medical attention; an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; swelling of the lips; tongue or face; hives). Discontinue giving methimazole and contact your veterinarian at once if your pet develops any of these serious side effects; fever, chills, body aches; easy bruising or bleeding, unusual weakness; blood in the urine or stools; severe blistering, peeling, and skin rash; nausea, low fever, loss of appetite, dark urine, jaundice. Other less serious side effects may occur. Continue giving methimazole and consult your veterinarian if your pet experiences headache, drowsiness, dizziness; mild nausea, or vomiting; itching; muscle, joint, or nerve pain; swelling; hair loss. Other side effects may also occur. Consult with your veterinarian about any side effect that seems unusual or bothersome to the animal.
