Product Description
Neomercazole 5mg Tablets contain carbimazole, a thioamide antithyroid drug that inhibits the enzyme thyroid peroxidase, blocking the synthesis of thyroid hormones T3 and T4. It is indicated for the treatment of hyperthyroidism, including Graves' disease, toxic multinodular goiter, and autonomous thyroid nodules. Carbimazole is converted to methimazole in the body, providing effective control of thyroid overactivity. Initial high doses reduce hormone levels rapidly, followed by maintenance dosing to achieve euthyroidism. It may be used alone or before/after radioiodine therapy, or preoperatively to prepare for thyroidectomy. Regular thyroid function monitoring is essential. Benefits • Effectively reduces excessive thyroid hormone production • Relieves symptoms of hyperthyroidism (palpitations, weight loss, heat intolerance) • Helps achieve normal thyroid function (euthyroidism) • Useful in preparation for thyroid surgery or radioiodine treatment • Allows flexible dosing for initial control and long-term maintenance • Improves quality of life in Graves' disease patients How to Use • Take tablets with water, preferably after meals to reduce stomach upset • Initial adult dose: 15–60 mg daily in divided doses (adjusted by thyroid function tests) • Maintenance dose: 5–15 mg daily once stabilized • Children: Dose based on age/weight under specialist supervision • Regular blood tests required to monitor thyroid levels and white blood cells • Do not stop abruptly – taper under medical guidance • Report fever, sore throat, or mouth ulcers immediately (signs of agranulocytosis)
