Neo-Mercazole 5Mg Tablet Health Feed

Hello, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. Your TSH has again gone quite low. So stop taking Levothyroxine for the time being. TSH ideally should be around 2 to 4 mU/L at which all the symptoms are in check. Once you stop levothyroxine, TSH will will go p over next few weeks. You may check the same again after 6 to 8 weeks and see if it has come up to the desired level. Thanks.

Mr. lybrate-user I have gone through the history you have provided. It's quiet complicated. You have not mentioned age must be around 70 I guess. Is she having headache or pain in eyes. What is vision with n without glasses. Detail eye checkup is required. Specially rule out cataract, glaucoma. Hyperthyroidism has multiple eye involvement. All needs to be ruled out. In the mean time just use refres tears eye drops 3- 4 times a day. Specific treatment only after physical consultation.

In second semester we usually withdraw ptu and convert to neomercazole if really needs
more contact with endocrinologist.

Dear lybrate-user,
when you are treated ffor hyperthyroidism with carbimazole there will be weight gain as you have noticed if your tsh level is normal then your doctor will gradually reduce the dose of carbimazole. The sneezing problem you have may be due to an allergy problem in the nasal passage and if it is troublesome you can take an antihistamine like levocet 5 mg when needed

Have you fully controlled hyperthyroidism have you checked vit d3 and vit b12.
Please contact me on line I will guide you accordingly.

Discuss with your doctor who may increase the dose of Neomercazole or may refer you to higher centre for other mode of therapy like radioactive iodine before considering surgery.

Hyperthyroidism treatment consists of oral medicines like methimazole, carbimazole and propylthiouracil. Other measures like thyroid ablation by radioisotope and surgery are also indicated in some cases. Kindly contact me with all the reports if possible.

Thanks for the query. Because of untreated hyperthyroidism you have lost weight. Therefore, it is essential to start appropriate treatment. There's no dietary restriction. But treatment has to be started. You will need anti - thyroid drug like Carbimazole. Thanks.

Mr Rajesh, Hyperthyroidism is treated with anti thyroid drugs like Methimazole, carbimazole and propylthiouracil for about a few months, that will control excess thyroxine secretion.
Some time radio active iodine is used to reduce excess thyroxine production or some times thyroid surgery may be used.

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.
