Veterinary Drugs and Treatments
Ipodate may be useful in some cats for the medical treatment of
hyperthyroidism when methimazole (or carbimazole) cannot be
tolerated. Because it uses a different mechanism of action
than methimazole,
ipodate may, potentially, be useful in reducing methimazole
dosages (and hence toxicity).
