Description
Carbimazole 5mg Tablets are used to treat hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), a condition where the thyroid gland produces excessive thyroid hormones. This medication works by reducing the production of these hormones, helping to alleviate symptoms such as weight loss, irritability, and rapid heartbeat.
Dosage/Directions: The typical starting dose for adults is 20mg to 60mg per day, divided into 2 or 3 doses. For 5mg tablets, this means taking 4 to 12 tablets daily, as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the tablets whole with water, with or without food. Regular blood tests are necessary to monitor thyroid hormone levels and adjust the dosage accordingly.
Side Effects: Common side effects include nausea, headache, joint pain, and mild skin rash. Rare but serious side effects may include a significant drop in white blood cell count, liver problems, and severe allergic reactions. Contact your doctor if you experience any severe or persistent side effects.
