Felimazole 2.5mg tablets for cats is a medication used to treat and manage hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid).

Hyperthyroidism is where the thyroid gland produces too much of the thyroid hormones. Each round, coated red, sugar-coated Felimazole 2.5mg tablet contains 2.5mg of the active ingredient Thiamazole. Thiamazole acts by blocking the biosynthesis of thyroid hormone in vivo; it works by inhibiting the binding of iodine to the enzyme thyroid peroxidase.

Common symptoms often seen is cats suffering with hyperthyroidism include; irritability, weight loss (usually despite an increased appetite), increased thirst, restlessness/ hyperactivity, matted or unkempt coat and an increased or rapid heart rate.
