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
SVPMEDS offers methimazole transdermal gel in the Topi-CLICK Micro® dispensing system. The applicator provides a metered method for dispensing the veterinarian-prescribed volume of the compounded preparation.
Each CLICK of the Topi-CLICK Micro® dispenses 0.05 mL. Audible, tactile, and visual feedback with each turn helps caregivers identify the prescribed number of CLICKs.
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.
Because each CLICK dispenses 0.05 mL, the amount of methimazole dispensed per CLICK depends on the concentration prescribed by the veterinarian.
For example, a 50 mg/mL preparation contains 2.5 mg in each 0.05 mL CLICK. The veterinarian determines the prescribed concentration and number of CLICKs for the individual patient.
Always follow the prescription label and your veterinarian’s directions for administration.
SVPMEDS also offers methimazole transdermal gel in our traditional 1 mL syringe presentation. This option remains available for veterinarians and pet owners who prefer a syringe dispensing format.
Depending on the veterinarian’s prescription and the individual patient’s needs, SVPMEDS also compounds methimazole in other dosage forms.
Prescription Required: A valid prescription from a licensed veterinarian is required before SVPMEDS can dispense a patient-specific compounded medication.
