Detailed Description

With unintended weight loss, you can’t afford to wait

Manage unintended weight loss in cats with Mirataz^® (mirtazapine transdermal ointment)

In a clinical study, Mirataz resulted in significant weight gain in cats in as little as 14 days following topical application of 2 mg per day¹

Mirataz gives you a practical way to manage your patient’s weight loss without administration of oral medication and does not rely on the cat to eat to be medicated

Mirataz was safe both locally and systemically in a clinical study

Recognize the signs of unintended weight loss and learn how Mirataz^® may help

Your cat’s weight loss could be caused by a variety of issues

A change in your cat’s appetite and unintended weight loss doesn’t always have a simple answer. It could be from non–disease-related stress, like a change in where they eat. It could be a reaction to psychological stress, like the disappearance of another pet. Or it could be the beginning of a serious disease, like hyperthyroidism, chronic kidney disease, or inflammatory bowel disease.

Prolonged inadequate nutrition may be more detrimental to your cat than the underlying cause of their weight loss.

Do not use Mirataz in cats with a known hypersensitivity to mirtazapine or any of the excipients or in cats treated with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). For additional important safety information and product label click here.

You can help identify the early signs of weight loss at home

As you interact with your feline friend, observe their eating habits and take the time to note any changes in their body composition.

Take notice of changes in eating habits, including:

Interest in food
Amount eaten
Time to finish

When petting your cat, check for:

Ribs or bony protrusions
Lumps or bumps
Tender spots

If your cat is losing weight, it could be a sign of a more serious underlying disease. It’s important to talk to your veterinarian immediately about changes in your cat’s eating habits or weight.
