It would be best to contact the vet that prescribed this medication to make sure it is still within an OK dosage for your cat's weight and age since you did not provide the concentration of the medication. If you are noticing any strange symptoms such as excessive lethargy/sedation, vomiting, diarrhea, confusion, etc, it is best to seek veterinary care in person immediately.
