Methimazole Transdermal Gel compounded for cats
Methimazole Transdermal Gel Compounded for Cats (1 mL Syringe)
Overview
Our pharmacists compound Methimazole Transdermal Gel specifically for feline patients under a licensed veterinarian’s prescription. Because many cats dislike oral medication, this transdermal option provides a stress-free alternative. The medication absorbs through the skin, eliminating the struggle of giving pills.
We package the gel in sterile 1 mL syringes to ensure accuracy, consistency, and convenience. Each syringe is pre-measured for controlled dosing. For more details about methimazole in veterinary use, visit
Veterinary Partner (VIN).

- 2.5 mg per 0.1 mL
- 5 mg per 0.1 mL
- 10 mg per 0.1 mL
In addition, we can custom compound other strengths to meet any specific dosing requirement your veterinarian prescribes.
