I am currently using Pimobendan 1.25 mg "Tiny Tabs" for my cat, that I get from my vet. They are the perfect size, are scored for easy cutting, and are 6.4mm (1/4") in diameter. Are these Mini-Med tablets the same size ? Thank You?

curious why the generic is the same, if not more expensive than the name brand...Pimobendan--Vetmedin 10mg?
-
Pimobendan for Dogs and Cats Compounded Mini-Med, is not a generic equivalent to Vetmedin Chewable Tablets. Rather it is a compounded medication that provides a smaller tablet than Vetmedin to make it easier to swallow. It is also unflavored which may be beneficial to a pet sensitive to the beef flavor in Vetmedin Chewable Tablets. Our pricing is determined by what we actually pay for the medications that we sell and will vary up and down over time. Please consult your veterinarian regarding any further questions or concerns regarding this medication in your cat/dog.
