There are a couple of medications used for the treatment of hyperthyroidism in humans that can also be used in cats, but the dosages would be very different and trying to just split a pill yourself would be dangerous and could kill your cat. Cats have very sensitive systems, more so than dogs, and you should never use a human medication on any animal, but especially on a sensitive animal like a cat, without being told to do so by a veterinarian.

Yes. Any drug of the same name is the same thing no matter whether it is being given to a human or an animal.

Do thyroid medicine take away or cure symptoms?

Thyroid medication might not necessarily take away all of your thyroid symptoms. However, the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists emphasizes in their SAME/SAME/SAME information campaign the importance of taking the same dose of the same thyroid medication at the same time of the day. This is because even the slightest variation can affect the overall effectiveness of thyroid medication. If you have any questions or concerns about your symptoms be sure to contact your doctor.
