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.
