How Methimazole Works
Methimazole belongs to a class of medications known as antithyroid drugs. Its primary mode of action involves inhibiting the production of thyroid hormones in the thyroid gland. Methimazole works by blocking the activity of an enzyme called thyroperoxidase, which is necessary for the synthesis of thyroid hormones. By reducing the production of these hormones, Methimazole effectively brings the levels back to a normal range, alleviating the symptoms associated with hyperthyroidism.
Methimazole is usually taken orally in tablet form, and its effects can be seen within a few weeks of starting the treatment. It is important to note that Methimazole does not provide a permanent cure for hyperthyroidism. Instead, it helps manage the condition by controlling the excessive production of thyroid hormones. In some cases, Methimazole may be used as a preparatory treatment before other interventions such as radioactive iodine therapy or surgery.
Benefits of Methimazole for Hyperthyroidism Treatment
Methimazole offers several benefits as a treatment option for hyperthyroidism. Firstly, it effectively reduces the symptoms associated with an overactive thyroid gland, allowing individuals to regain control over their physical and emotional well-being. Rapid weight loss, increased heart rate, and anxiety are often significantly improved with Methimazole therapy.

Dosage and Administration of Methimazole
The dosage of Methimazole prescribed may vary depending on the severity of the hyperthyroidism and individual patient factors. Typically, the initial dose ranges from 10 to 40 milligrams per day, divided into two or three doses. As the condition improves, the dosage may be gradually reduced to a maintenance dose, which is usually around 5 to 15 milligrams per day.
It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and administration instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Methimazole tablets should be taken with food to enhance absorption and minimize the risk of gastrointestinal side effects. Regular monitoring of thyroid hormone levels is also necessary to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment and adjust the dosage if needed.
Side Effects and Precautions of Methimazole
While Methimazole is generally well-tolerated, like any medication, it can cause side effects in some individuals. Common side effects may include mild nausea, vomiting, upset stomach, rash, or mild itching. These side effects are usually temporary and subside with continued use of the medication. However, if any side effects persist or become severe, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider.
In rare cases, Methimazole may cause more serious side effects such as liver damage or a decrease in white blood cell count. Regular blood tests are typically conducted to monitor liver function and blood cell counts during Methimazole treatment. It is essential to report any symptoms such as jaundice, dark urine, persistent nausea, or unexplained fever to your healthcare provider immediately.

Graves' disease (German: Morbus Basedow), also known as toxic diffuse goiter, is an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid.[1] It frequently results in and is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism.[5] It also often results in an enlarged thyroid.[1] Signs and symptoms of hyperthyroidism may include irritability, muscle weakness, sleeping problems, a fast heartbeat, poor tolerance of heat, diarrhea and unintentional weight loss.[1] Other symptoms may include thickening of the skin on the shins, known as pretibial myxedema, and eye bulging, a condition caused by Graves' ophthalmopathy.[1] About 25 to 30% of people with the condition develop eye problems.[1][4]

The exact cause of the disease is unclear; however, it is believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors.[3] A person is more likely to be affected if they have a family member with the disease.[1] If one twin is affected, a 30% chance exists that the other twin will also have the disease.[6] The onset of disease may be triggered by physical or emotional stress, infection or giving birth.[4] Those with other autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis are more likely to be affected.[1] Smoking increases the risk of disease and may worsen eye problems.[1] The disorder results from an antibody, called thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin (TSI), that has a similar effect to thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH).[1] These TSI antibodies cause the thyroid gland to produce excess thyroid hormones.[1] The diagnosis may be suspected based on symptoms and confirmed with blood tests and radioiodine uptake.[1][4] Typically, blood tests show a raised T3 and T4, low TSH, increased radioiodine uptake in all areas of the thyroid and TSI antibodies.[4]

The three treatment options are radioiodine therapy, medications, and thyroid surgery.[1] Radioiodine therapy involves taking iodine-131 by mouth, which is then concentrated in the thyroid and destroys it over weeks to months.[1] The resulting hypothyroidism is treated with synthetic thyroid hormones.[1] Medications such as beta blockers may control some of the symptoms, and antithyroid medications such as methimazole may temporarily help people while other treatments are having effect.[1] Surgery to remove the thyroid is another option.[1] Eye problems may require additional treatments.[1]

Graves' disease will develop in about 0.5% of males and 3% of females.[5] It occurs about 7.5 times more often in women than in men.[1] Often, it starts between the ages of 40 and 60 but can begin at any age.[6] It is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism in the United States (about 50 to 80% of cases).[1][4] The condition is named after Irish surgeon Robert Graves, who described it in 1835.[6] A number of prior descriptions also exist.[6]

Ang methimazole ay isang gamot para sa hyperthyroidism

Propylthiouracil, often abbreviated as PTU, is a medication used in the treatment of hyperthyroidism, a condition in which the thyroid gland produces an excessive amount of thyroid hormones. Thyroid hormones, such as thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), play a crucial role in regulating various metabolic processes in the body. When the thyroid gland is overactive, it can lead to symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, weight loss, anxiety, and heat intolerance.

Here are some key points about propylthiouracil:

1. Mechanism of Action: Propylthiouracil works by inhibiting the production of thyroid hormones in the thyroid gland. It does this by interfering with the synthesis of T3 and T4. Specifically, it inhibits the enzyme thyroperoxidase, which is essential for the production of these hormones.

2. Use: PTU is primarily used to manage hyperthyroidism, including conditions like Graves' disease. It helps alleviate the symptoms of hyperthyroidism and reduces the production of thyroid hormones, thus bringing the thyroid function under control.

3. Dosage: The dosage of propylthiouracil can vary depending on the severity of the hyperthyroidism and the patient's response to the medication. It is typically taken orally in tablet form, often two or three times a day. The exact dosing regimen should be determined by a healthcare professional.

4. Monitoring: Patients taking PTU usually require regular monitoring of their thyroid function through blood tests to ensure that their thyroid hormone levels are within the target range.

5. Side Effects: Like any medication, PTU can have side effects. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, loss of taste, rash, joint pain, and liver function abnormalities. Rare but serious side effects can include severe liver problems and a decrease in white blood cells, which can weaken the immune system.

6. Pregnancy: PTU is sometimes used in pregnant women with hyperthyroidism because it is considered safer than other medications like methimazole during pregnancy. However, its use during pregnancy should be carefully monitored, as it can cross the placenta and affect the developing fetus.

7. Alternative Medications: Methimazole is another medication used to treat hyperthyroidism, and it works in a similar way to PTU. The choice between PTU and methimazole depends on various factors, including the patient's medical history and any contraindications.

8. Long-Term Use: In some cases, PTU may be used as a long-term treatment for hyperthyroidism, especially if other treatments like radioactive iodine therapy or surgery are not suitable or preferred.

It's important to note that PTU should be used under the supervision of a healthcare provider, as the management of hyperthyroidism requires careful monitoring and adjustments to the medication regimen. Additionally, individual responses to PTU can vary, so the treatment plan should be tailored to each patient's specific needs and circumstances.
