Mirataz is a transdermal ointment formulated to support body weight gain in cats suffering from reduced appetite and weight loss associated with chronic health conditions.

Mirataz 20mg/ml Transdermal Ointment for Cats
Mirataz contains the active ingredient mirtazapine, which is absorbed through the skin of the cat’s ear and into the bloodstream. It is used to promote weight gain in cats with reduced appetite due to chronic medical conditions.
While the exact mechanism of action is not fully understood, mirtazapine is believed to increase appetite by influencing several systems, including serotonin and histamine pathways, as well as modulating leptin levels—a hormone involved in hunger regulation.
