A survey of US veterinarians indicates that roughly 9 million cats present with weight loss/inappetence due to underlying conditions each year.1-3 However, only 2 million of those cats are prescribed medication (compounded or human generic mirtazapine) to manage their weight loss.
Why? 74% of veterinarians indicated that the ease of administering a medication is one of the most important factors in selecting a medication for the management of weight loss in cats.1
With Mirataz, veterinarians can confidently recommend an effective topically applied product for cats with unintended weight loss that may be associated with underlying disease.
