Carbimazole Health Feed

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
In some cases when TSH levels do go up during the antithyroid treatment, T4 (Thyroxine) is usedm to counter hypothyroidieffects. Since the doctor has recommended the same, please do take. Thanks.

Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details mentioned. I am sure you must have taken carbimazole on the advise of an endocrinologist or a physician. I am sure while starting the treatment he/she might have given you all the necessary information regarding the duration of the treatment and how to go about.
In treating hyperthyroidism anti-thyroid drug/s are given for a period of 18 to 24 months. During this period thyroid hormones are periodically checked to see how the treatment...more

Hello sir,
I can understand your concern. Propranolol may decrease the motility of the sperms. However, I would advice you to not stop it abruptly as there can be some withdrawl symptoms. So firstly you and your wife can visit a fertility clinic or doctor, get the tests and medical advice and then depending on what exactly is the underlying cause, you can plan for next.
Hope this helps, best wishes!

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Usually Neomercazole tablets are given for 12 to 18 months, to bring down the overactivity of thyroid gland. It is better if you continue for a few more months till TSH come up a bit more. Then you might discontinue the drug. But thyroid testing has to be done once in six months to see if there is no excess activity. Thanks.

Your suffering from severe hyperthyroidism. Do you have any neck swelling. What is the total dose of neomercazole that your taking per day? You have to repeat the thyroid profile after 2 weeks, increase in nmz dosage may be required.

lybrate-user, Hyperthyroidism is a hormonal disorder, occurring due to excess activity of thyroid gland. Only treatment for this is taking anti - thyroid drugs (Neomercazole), plus betablockers to reduce palpitations. There is no Ayurvedic treatment. If you still want to go for it then choice is yours. Thanks.

with the readings given Neomercazole is right medicine for your condition.. For other things you need to approach medical personnel for reliving your symptoms

Hello, Thanks for the query.
The present TSH level 1.37 mU/L, which is within the normal range. So no need to reduce the dosage of Carbimazole or take any other drug.
Hypothyroidism is diagnosed when TSH increases above 10 mU/L. If you have any questions please do come back. Thanks.

Hello, thanks for the query.
Madam, I have seen the details given. However, there is no mention of the dosage (mg per tablet), and importantly tsh, t4 & t3 values. Without knowing the vital information it is difficult to comment. However, usually antithyroid treatment (particularly tablets either carbimazole or propylthiouracil) is given up to 24 months. Beyond that if the condition does not improve, then other treatments are considered like radio active iodine ablstion or surgery. So please...more

Dear Mr. lybrate-user, If your blood thyroid hormone levels are well controlled with 10 mg of Neomercazole, than there is no need for any specific diet. Only if the symptoms recur inspite of Neomercazole, you can consider radioactive iodine as a permanent solution for hyperthyroidism.
