10mg Vidalta tablets are used for the treatment of hyperthyroidism and hyperthyroidism-associated clinical signs in cats.

Vidalta Dosage and administration
For oral use only. 10mg Vidalta tablets should be administered at the same time every day in particular in relation to timing of feeding. Vidalta may be given with food or on an empty stomach as long as this is not varied from day to day. Do not break or crush 10mg Vidalta tablets. The aim of treatment is to maintain total thyroxine concentrations (TT4) in the lower end of the reference range. Accordingly the following dose recommendations for dosing during adjustment and maintenance phases are suggested. However dosing adjustment should be primarily based upon the clinical assessment of the individual cat. Monitoring of TT4 full haematology and liver and kidney parameters is advised at each recommended follow up visit. Adjustment phase The starting dose of Vidalta is a single daily oral administration of one tablet of 15mg carbimazole per cat. Consideration could be given to a starting dose of 10mg Vidalta daily where the TT4 concentration is only mildly increased e.g. between 50 nmol/L and 100 nmol/L. With the recommended starting dose of one Vidalta 15 mg tablet once daily total thyroxine concentration (TT4) may decrease to within the euthyroid range (TT4<50 nmol/L) shortly after treatment initiation. A dose adjustment may be required as early as 10 days of treatment. Dose adjustment should also be performed 3 5 and 8 weeks after initiation of treatment depending on both clinical and hormonal responses to treatment. Maintenance phase Follow-up visits every 3 to 6 months are recommended. The dose of Vidalta should be adjusted individually based on clinical signs and total thyroxine concentration (TT4). It is advisable to check TT4 10-14 days after dose adjustment. The therapeutic dose of Vidalta ranges between 10 mg (one 10 mg tablet) and 25 mg (one 10 mg tablet and one 15 mg tablet) once daily. Some cats require doses of less than 10 mg carbimazole daily. In these cases alternative treatment should be used. Vidalta Dose increases should not be made in increments of greater than 5 mg. Doses of Vidalta above 20mg have only been trialled in a small number of cats and should be used with caution.

100ml Thyronorm for Cats is a medication designed to stabilize hyperthyroidism in cats before undergoing surgical thyroidectomy, as well as providing long-term treatment for feline hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism is a common hormonal disorder in cats, which occurs when the thyroid glands produce excessive amounts of thyroid hormones, leading to various health issues, including weight loss, increased appetite, hyperactivity, and heart problems. By using Thyronorm, Vets can effectively manage this condition and improve the overall health and quality of life of affected cats.

Thyronorm Oral Solution for Cats offers a reliable and efficient method for controlling feline hyperthyroidism. This easy-to-administer liquid medication allows for accurate dosing and is often well-tolerated by cats, making it a popular choice among veterinarians and pet owners alike. The active ingredient in Thyronorm oral solution is thiamazole, which is present at a concentration of 5mg/ml. Thiamazole works by inhibiting the production of thyroid hormones, thereby helping to restore a normal hormonal balance and alleviate the symptoms associated with hyperthyroidism in cats.
