Description
Carbimazole 20mg tablets are an antithyroid medication used to treat hyperthyroidism, a condition characterized by an overactive thyroid gland producing excess thyroid hormones.
Carbimazole works by inhibiting the synthesis of thyroid hormones, thereby reducing their levels in the blood and helping to restore normal thyroid function.
The tablets are taken orally, with dosages tailored by a healthcare provider based on the patient’s condition and response to treatment. Commonly, treatment begins with higher doses and is gradually reduced as thyroid hormone levels normalize.
Common side effects include skin rash, itching, nausea, joint pain, and upset stomach. Rare but serious side effects include liver toxicity and a decrease in white blood cells (agranulocytosis), which requires regular blood monitoring.
Carbimazole is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to the drug and requires caution during pregnancy and breastfeeding, typically under medical supervision.
