SVPMEDS compounds methimazole transdermal gel for cats based on a prescription from a licensed veterinarian. This dosage form provides veterinarians with an option when a compounded transdermal preparation is appropriate for an individual patient.
Each prescription is prepared according to the veterinarian’s directions and the patient’s prescribed strength and quantity.
Pronunciation: meth-IM-a-zole
This methimazole transdermal preparation is dispensed in individual 1 mL syringes. The syringe format allows caregivers to measure the veterinarian-prescribed volume using the markings on the syringe.
This traditional packaging option remains available for veterinarians and pet owners who prefer a syringe dispensing format rather than the Topi-CLICK Micro® applicator.
SVPMEDS dispensing data shows that veterinarians prescribe methimazole transdermal gel in a range of patient-specific concentrations. Commonly prescribed concentrations include:
Custom strengths are also available. The prescribing veterinarian determines the appropriate strength, dose, and quantity for each individual patient. Available compounding options can be accessed through the SVPMEDS Portal.
The number of doses contained in each 1 mL syringe depends on the volume prescribed for each administration.
For example, a prescription directing administration of 0.1 mL per dose would provide 10 measured 0.1 mL portions from a 1 mL syringe. Always follow the prescription label and veterinarian’s directions for the individual patient.
SVPMEDS compounds this preparation using a transdermal base and prepares the prescribed concentration specifically for the individual patient.
Caregivers should administer the medication only according to the prescription label and the veterinarian’s instructions. Follow all handling, application, and storage directions provided with the prescription.
Methimazole transdermal gel is also available from SVPMEDS in the Topi-CLICK Micro® dispensing system.
Depending on the veterinarian’s prescription and the individual patient’s needs, SVPMEDS also compounds methimazole in other dosage forms.
