Common drugs for hyperthyroidism


Passionate about making a difference.
At present, the commonly used oral antihyperthyroidism drugs for the treatment of hyperthyroidism are propylthiouracil and methimazole. The liver function abnormality caused by methimazole is less than that caused by propylthiouracil, and the degree is also lower than that caused by propylthiouracil. Therefore, in normal people, methimazole is still the first choice for antihyperthyroidism treatment. However, because the amount of propylthiouracil passing through the placenta is less than that of methimazole, propylthiouracil should be chosen to treat hyperthyroidism for pregnant women, especially during the preparation period and early pregnancy. However, it is still recommended that patients should treat hyperthyroidism before pregnancy., after hyperthyroidism is cured, prepare for pregnancy.
