What Methimazole is
Methimazole lowers the amount of thyroid hormone the thyroid makes. It is the usual first medicine for an overactive thyroid.
What it’s for
Overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism), including Graves’ disease.
How it’s taken
By mouth, once a day or split through the day. Blood tests guide the dose.
Good to know
Rarely it can wipe out white blood cells. A fever, sore throat or mouth sores need a blood count right away. It can also rarely injure the liver: yellow skin or eyes or dark urine should be reported. Early in pregnancy, propylthiouracil is often used instead because methimazole can harm the baby.
