Neo-Mercazole (Carbimazole) 5mg Tablet 120’s

Neo-Mercazole 5mg Tablets (120’s) are a trusted antithyroid medication used in the treatment of hyperthyroidism, including conditions such as Graves’ disease, toxic multinodular goiter, and thyroid adenoma. Each tablet contains 5mg of Carbimazole, which is converted in the body to methimazole, the active compound that inhibits the production of excess thyroid hormones.

By reducing thyroid hormone levels, Neo-Mercazole helps relieve symptoms such as palpitations, anxiety, weight loss, excessive sweating, and heat intolerance. It is also commonly prescribed to prepare patients for thyroid surgery or radioactive iodine therapy.

Key Benefits:

• Effectively treats overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism)
• Reduces symptoms like rapid heartbeat, tremors, and weight loss
• Helps restore hormonal balance
• Used pre-operatively or before radioiodine treatment
• Supplied in a large 120-tablet pack for long-term management

How It Works: Carbimazole blocks the thyroid gland’s ability to use iodine, which is essential for producing thyroid hormones. This suppression helps normalize hormone levels and prevent complications.

Dosage & Administration: Initial doses typically range from 20–60mg daily, adjusted based on thyroid function tests. Tablets are taken orally with water, and the dose is gradually reduced as hormone levels stabilize. Always follow your doctor’s instructions.

Precautions:

• Regular blood tests are essential to monitor thyroid function and white blood cell count
• Not recommended during pregnancy unless under specialist care
• Report symptoms like sore throat, fever, or mouth ulcers immediately (possible signs of agranulocytosis)
• Use with caution in patients with liver or bone marrow disorders

Common Side Effects: Nausea, headache, joint pain, mild rash. Rare but serious effects include agranulocytosis, aplastic anemia, and liver dysfunction.
