2.5mg Thiafeline is used for the stabilisation of hyperthyroidism in cats prior to surgical thyroidectomy. It is also used for the long-term treatment of feline hyperthyroidism.

Hyperthyroidism is a prevalent condition in older cats, characterised by an overactive thyroid gland producing excessive amounts of thyroid hormone. This condition can lead to a range of health issues, including weight loss, increased appetite, and behavioural changes. Hyperthyroidism is a condition where the thyroid gland, located in the cat's neck, produces an excessive amount of thyroid hormone. This overproduction can accelerate the cat's metabolism, leading to symptoms like rapid weight loss, increased appetite, hyperactivity, and increased thirst and urination. If left untreated, hyperthyroidism can lead to severe complications, including heart disease and hypertension.

Thiafeline 2.5mg for Cats contains the active ingredient Thiamazole. Thiamazole acts by inhibiting the production of thyroid hormones in the thyroid gland. By reducing the levels of these hormones, Thiafeline effectively manages the symptoms of hyperthyroidism, bringing relief to affected cats.

Managing Hyperthyroidism in Cats

Thyronorm 30ml is a veterinary medicine formulated to treat hyperthyroidism in cats. It contains the active ingredient thiamazole, which helps regulate the production of thyroid hormones. Hyperthyroidism is a common condition in older cats, leading to weight loss, increased appetite, hyperactivity, and other metabolic changes.

Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland produces excessive amounts of thyroxine (T4), a hormone responsible for regulating metabolism. Elevated thyroid hormone levels can cause a range of symptoms that affect a cat’s overall health. Without treatment, the condition can lead to complications affecting the heart, kidneys, and other organs.

Thyronorm helps control thyroid hormone production, restoring balance to the cat’s metabolism. Proper management of hyperthyroidism can improve quality of life and reduce the risk of long-term complications.

How 30ml Thyronorm Works

Thyronorm contains thiamazole, a medication that inhibits the excessive production of thyroid hormones. It works by blocking the enzyme thyroid peroxidase, which is essential for the synthesis of thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). By reducing hormone production, Thyronorm helps regulate metabolism and alleviates the symptoms of hyperthyroidism.

Thiamazole does not cure hyperthyroidism but provides ongoing management of the condition. Regular administration is necessary to maintain stable thyroid hormone levels. Adjustments to dosage may be required based on veterinary monitoring and blood test results.

Amodip 1.25mg for Cats is a prescription-only medication used to manage systemic hypertension (high blood pressure) in cats. It contains the active ingredient amlodipine besylate, which belongs to a class of medicines called calcium channel blockers. This medicine is widely used in veterinary medicine to help reduce and control blood pressure in feline patients.

Amodip comes in chewable tablets that are flavoured to make administration easier. Each tablet contains 1.25mg of amlodipine, which is the most commonly recommended starting dose for cats. It is licensed for veterinary use in the UK and is usually prescribed by vets when a cat has been diagnosed with persistent high blood pressure.

How Amodip Works

Amodip works by relaxing the smooth muscles of the blood vessel walls. It does this by inhibiting the movement of calcium into the cells of the heart and blood vessels. This relaxation causes the vessels to widen (vasodilation), which lowers the resistance against blood flow and helps reduce blood pressure.

Lowering blood pressure reduces the strain on the heart and can help prevent damage to organs such as the kidneys, brain, and eyes. In cats, high blood pressure can lead to serious health issues including blindness, seizures, and kidney failure. By maintaining blood pressure within a normal range, Amodip can support long-term health and improve a cat's quality of life.
