Oral or Transdermal Forms
Some cats take an oral liquid. Others may be prescribed a transdermal ear-tip preparation when oral dosing is not practical. The veterinarian chooses the route, strength, dose, and follow-up monitoring.
Prescriber-led preparation
Compounding is used when the prescription needs something different from a ready-made product.
Methimazole may be compounded as an oral suspension or transdermal ear-tip preparation when a veterinarian prescribes it for a cat.
