My cat's heart is better and she is less scared of Meds. Thx
From BostonComments about Atenolol Transdermal Gel (Compounded)My vets are amazed that her heart has recovered so much on the transdermal form of atenolol as it isn't always successful. I am so glad she has because it is so much less traumatic for both of us to be able to do her Med. Thank you! -
ATENOLOL TRANSDERMAL GEL COMPOUND
From Salt Lake City, UT, USAComments about Atenolol Transdermal Gel (Compounded)***I highly recomment VetRxDirect & this product. Not only is it easy to apply, (cat's inner ear flap), than oral meds, her health is great. It has completely stopped the progress of the heart disease and the stress of medicating my cat with oral meds every night. If you need this for a cat, this is the ONLY way to go. ********** (10 Stars)

Q & A

Hello, How is this medication dispensed? Is it in the "twist-a-dose" pen or must it be sucked into a syringe, squirted onto a gloved finger, and then applied inside the cat's ear? Also, is it possible to keep/store it longer than 30 days? My cat is currently on either Atenolol liquid or compounded tiny tabs, but the pharmacy I get her meds from does not supply the Atenolol in transdermal form on its own. As she can sometimes be finicky about taking her medication, I may have her vet fill a prescription for the transdermal to keep on hand for when she refuses the tablet or liquid. Thanks for your help!?

Atenolol transdermal gel may be an option for pet owners who are unable to administer oral medication to their cat. It is always best to work with your veterinarian on techniques for oral administration of a medication as it will be preferred to transdermal administration. The Atenolol Transdermal Gel will come in prefilled 1mL amber syringes. To apply the gel, a protective finger cot or gloves should be worn. To apply the gel to your cat, depress the prescribed dose on your finger cot or glove, and rub inside the cats ear until rubbed in completely. VetRxDirect recommends the transdermal gel be used within 30 Days and to not keep medication beyond the use date. For any further questions regarding Atenolol Transdermal Gel, please consult with your veterinarian.
