The only way we are able to medicate a cat is to place him/her on a firm surfact (not carpet), and firmly grab him by the scruff of the neck (the way a mama cat carries her young). He will not be going anywhere.
If it's a liquid, use a syring or dropper and insert it in the side pocket of his mouth. If it's a pill, try a pill pusher you can get at Petco or PetsMart. Eye drops or salve should be pretty easy to squeeze in his eyes holding him that way also. A second person helping makes it easier.
