Quick reference guide
Below is a quick reminder of the key things you need to remember about Felimazole® treatment.
DO:
- Take your cat back to your veterinary surgeon for regular monitoring.
- Contact your veterinary surgeon immediately if your cat stops eating or becomes unwell while on Felimazole® treatment.
- Wash hands with soap and water after using Felimazole® or after handling litter used by treated animals.
- If you are a woman of child–bearing age you should wear gloves when handling litter of treated cats.
DO NOT:
- Change the dose without advice from your veterinary surgeon.
- Eat, drink or smoke while handling the tablet or used litter.
- Crush tablets.
Ensure you continue giving your cat the prescribed dose of Felimazole® every day. Even if you notice dramatic physical improvements to your cat's health this does not mean that you should stop treatment. Felimazole® will resolve the outward signs of hyperthyroidism but it does not cure the disease.
Monitoring is important and regular checks performed by your veterinary surgeon will ensure your cat continues to get the best possible care.
