About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Neo-Mercazole 5 Tablet contains the active ingredient Carbimazole (5mg), a thionamide antithyroid drug. It is primarily used for the treatment of hyperthyroidism, a condition characterized by an overactive thyroid gland. Neo-Mercazole works by inhibiting the synthesis of thyroid hormones, thereby reducing thyroid hormone levels in the body. The medication should be taken as directed by a healthcare provider, usually in divided doses, three times a day. Monitoring of thyroid function and white blood cell count is essential during treatment to ensure safe and effective use. Side effects may include nausea, skin rash, and agranulocytosis (a severe reduction in white blood cells). Regular follow-ups with a healthcare provider are necessary to manage the dose and monitor for adverse effects. It's important to note that Neo-Mercazole is not a cure for hyperthyroidism, but rather a means to control the symptoms.
