Remedica Carbimazole 5mg Antithyroid Tablets - 1 Strip of 10 Tablets
An overactive thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism or Grave's disease) aggressively accelerates the body's metabolism, causing rapid heart rate, severe weight loss, tremors, and anxiety. Remedica Carbimazole 5mg provides critical antithyroid regulation. By actively interfering with the iodine-binding process in the thyroid gland, it significantly reduces the synthesis of thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), slowly restoring normal metabolic function and preventing life-threatening thyrotoxic storms.
How to Use / Operate
Take orally exactly as prescribed by your endocrinologist. The initial dose is usually high (divided throughout the day), then gradually reduced to a maintenance dose as thyroid levels normalize. Do not alter your dose without a blood test.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Carbimazole used for?
It is an oral prescription medication used to treat an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) and to prepare patients for thyroidectomy surgery.
What should I do if I get a sore throat while taking this?
If you develop a sudden sore throat, fever, or mouth ulcers, stop taking the medication immediately and go to a hospital for an urgent blood test to check your white blood cell count.
Important Clinical Considerations
Carbimazole carries a rare but extremely severe risk of agranulocytosis (a dangerous drop in white blood cells). Patients must be vigilant for signs of infection. Frequent liver function and thyroid hormone (TSH, Free T4) blood tests are mandatory during treatment.
