hyperthyroidism before pregnancy means through pregnancy there is antithyroid treatment on. Carbimazole crosses the placental barrier, hence can affect the development of thyroid gland in fetus causing hypothyroidism. So propylthiouracil is preferred as it does not cross the placental barrier. However, there are possible side effects of these drugs affecting the pregnancy. Usually antithyroid drugs are given for 12 to 18 months and stopped. That could be one option when hyperthyroidism is comple...more

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 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.
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

Mr. You have hyperthyroidism, hence the treatment has to go on for at least 12 to 18 months, then when levels become normal it may be stopped. Some times it may not return to normal then other measures may be looked at. At present please continue the therapy. If you any troublesome symptoms please do inform.
