What Propylthiouracil is
Propylthiouracil (PTU) lowers the amount of thyroid hormone the thyroid makes, and blocks some T4 from turning into active T3.
What it’s for
Overactive thyroid when methimazole can’t be used, and often in the first three months of pregnancy.
How it’s taken
By mouth, usually split into doses through the day.
Good to know
It has a boxed warning for severe liver injury, which can lead to liver failure. Yellow skin or eyes, dark urine, belly pain, or unusual tiredness need care right away. Like methimazole, it can rarely wipe out white blood cells, so a fever or sore throat needs a blood count right away.
