A drug which helps to prevent the formation of thyroid hormones, used in the management of hyperthyroidism.
A drug used to reduce the production of thyroid hormone in cases of overactivity of the gland (thyrotoxicosis). It is administered by mouth; some allergic reactions may occur and high dosage may cause enlargement of the thyroid gland, which may obstruct the windpipe.
One of the most widely used drugs in the treatment of hyperthyroidism. It acts by interfering with the synthesis of thyroid hormone in the thyroid gland.
Carbimazole is a medication employed in the treatment of hyperthyroidism, a condition characterized by the overactivity of the thyroid gland. It should be noted that carbimazole takes some time to exhibit its effects. Therefore, beta-blockers may be prescribed to alleviate symptoms during the interim period.
Prolonged administration of carbimazole can potentially diminish blood cell production by the bone marrow, necessitating regular blood counts to be conducted. Some side effects that may arise include headaches, dizziness, joint pain, and nausea.
