Best prices on tapazole?
My cat was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. The only symptom he
has is that he's lost several pounds, and appears somewhat thin. His appetite is somewhat voracious, but that's not a problem! g He's still happy and active, for a 16 year old cat. So, I started him on a regimen of liquid tapazole (Fish flavor too!). It cost $27 per month for the liquid. Can anyone tell me where to get it cheaper? I also may try the pills, which are only $15 through the vet. -Thanks |

Seems you have the best price already. Paul |

Costco is much cheaper. You don't need the brand, generic works just fine. I pay 40 bucks for 60 5mg tablets, this site wants 1.09 for each 5 mg dose. That's a 25 dollar difference. Paul |

Best prices on tapazole?
Give your Wal-mart pharmacy a call. I've priced out medication for my
cat, and their prices on drugs are quite competitive. |

I also may try the pills, which are only $15 through the vet. $27/month is a good price- assuming he gets 2.5 mg twice a day. If you go with the pills, be sure to put them in a #3 or ideally a #4 gelcap so he doesn't taste them. Methimazole tastes nasty- its very bitter. Once he gets a taste of it it will be almost impossible to pill him again. Best of luck. Phil |
