Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / August 2007Best 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 > My cat was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism.

I pay 40 bucks for 60 pills at Costco. Seems you have the best price already. Paul > I pay 40 bucks for 60 pills at Costco.

Anyway, how is this price: http://www.petcarerx.com/PCareRx/SimpleProduct.aspx?CS_ProductID=10783&CS_Catego ry=prescription_thyroid&CS_Catalog=Petcare_Products&CatalogNavigationBreadCrumbs =Petcare_Products;prescription;prescription_thyroid&UserPref=culture%5Een-US%7CC urrencyCode%5EUSDen-US >> I pay 40 bucks for 60 pills at Costco.

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 Give your Wal-mart pharmacy a call. I've priced out medication for my cat, and their prices on drugs are quite competitive. > My cat was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism.

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
